12. Peripheral nerve injuries are often associated with neuropathic pain. Which of the following
statement is least likely:
(A) Nerve injury causes sprouting (or phenotypic changes) of large-diameter primary afferents
from the deep dorsal horn into lamina I & II.
(B) The cholera toxin B subunit is the primary marker used for sprouting of injured primary
nerves.
(C) During inflammatory pain, the dorsal root ganglion in the involved nerve show similar
changes as seen in neuropathic pain.
(D) Peripheral nerve injury may cause ongoing activity and after-discharges.
(E) The overall increased excitatory drive may be combined with a compromised inhibitory
control in the dorsal horn.
