Widespread latent hyperactivity of nociceptors outlasts enhanced avoidance behavior following incision injury

Alexis G. Bavencoffe, Elia R. Lopez, Kayla N. Johnson…·Edgar T. Walters

The paper shows that nociceptors exhibit latent hyperactivity after incision injury, which persists longer than behavioral pain indicators.
