Role of HCN ion channels in somatic sensation and pain (HCN PAIN)

Start date: Feb 15, 2008, End date: Feb 14, 2010,

"Pain arises when a stimulus activates a pain-specific nerve fibre by opening an ion channel, causing a depolarisation (positive change in membrane potential) and triggering action potentials that propagate to the central nervous system to elicit a sensation of pain. The rate of depolarisation between action potentials determines their frequency, and thus the pain intensity. An important modulator ...
