In this paper, we demonstrate how dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neuron excitability can become pathologically altered, as occurs in neuropathic pain. Specifically, we reproduce pathological changes in spiking pattern (from transient to repetitive spiking) and the development of membrane potential oscillations and bursting.
