Data are from both silent and SA neurons sampled from DRGs at all time points (3 d to 8 months) and all levels (C6/C7, T8/T9, T11/T12, and L4/L5) from both male and female animals. Except in the case of firing rate of neurons displaying SA (in which medians are presented), the numbers are means ± SEM (N of animals, N of neurons). The p values are for t test (Bonferroni corrected) applied after overall significance was established with single-factor ANOVA. Firing rates were compared with the Kruskal–Wallis test and calculated as the total number of APs in the two 30 s observation periods divided by 60 s.
