Histamine activates naked mole-rat DRG neurons. A, pie-chart showing different populations of DRG neurons, 10% (n = 35/343) were activated by 1 μM capsaicin, 10% by 100 μM histamine (n = 35/343), 13% were activated by both stimuli (n = 45/343). B, example traces showing the time-course of experiments and the different response types. C, groups of neurons responding to either capsaicin, histamine or both were significantly smaller than the group which was not activated by either stimulus (**, p < 0.01 and ***, p < 0.001). Results are taken from 5 different DRG neuron cultures.
