Abstract

Mechanical and thermal excitability of cutaneous feline polymodal C-fiber units is maintained under the action of subcutaneous tetrodotoxin injected in concentrations suppressing the mechanosensitivy of Aβ-units. A number of features of inhibition and excitation of C-fiber polymodal sensory units can be explained by existence of tetrodotoxinresistant Na channels in their termination.
