- Neuropathic pain is a chronic condition caused by nervous system injury, often worsening with time and poorly responding to typical treatments.
- Naked mole-rats were studied to see if they have a different response to nerve injury compared to mice, especially regarding sensitivity to cold and mechanical stimuli.
- The study found that while both species developed mechanical sensitivity after nerve injury, naked mole-rats showed no cold sensitivity, likely due to evolutionary adaptations not simply explained by receptor expression differences.
