Functional Neurokinin and NMDA Receptor Activity in an Animal Naturally Lacking Substance P: The Naked Mole-Rat

Naked mole-rats are extremely unusual among mammals in that their cutaneous C-fibers lack the neuropeptide Substance P (SP). In other mammals, SP plays an important role in nociception: it is released from C-fibers onto spinal neurons where it facilitates NMDA receptor activity and causes sensitizat...
