This paper develops mechanically stable multi-electrode neural probes for high-resolution, multichannel recordings in peripheral nerves, improving signal yield and performance compared to single-electrode probes.

This study investigates whether placebo expectations affect peripheral nociceptor activity using microneurography in humans, finding fiber-type specific changes in excitability.

The paper identifies OSMR and SST as molecular markers for human dermal sleeping nociceptors, providing new therapeutic targets for neuropathic pain.

This paper develops a hybrid model for spike sorting in C-fiber microneurography, achieving better F1-scores and fewer false positives than Spike2 software.

The paper evaluates supervised spike sorting for noisy single-electrode recordings from human C-nociceptors, finding raw signal features outperform complex methods and recommending tailored approaches.

This paper introduces a computational model to predict conduction velocity changes in unmyelinated axons using memory-based mechanisms, showing improved efficiency compared to Hodgkin-Huxley models.

The paper functionally characterizes sodium channels in nociceptors using patch-clamp and computational models, revealing Nav1.9's role in action potential upstroke and shoulder.

This review examines spontaneous activity in peripheral sensory nerves in neuropathic pain, finding broad agreement on its presence but highlighting variability and uncertainty due to methodological differences.
