Hi Tom, good read once again and finding your news letter very informative. I have signposted a number of patients to your resources, which has helped their understanding of what they are experiencing. I do like the idea of breaking the book down in to sections.
Thanks Seb, good to hear you and your patients are finding everything useful. I'm meaning to make some resources more specifically aimed at people with pain in the future. Tom
Hi Daniel, good question, "ectopic" means "in the wrong place", so action potentials generated from abnormal impulse generating sites in the axon of the nerve root or the peripheral nerves. Although Devor argues that the DRG is "supposed" to generate APs I think they are still classed as ectopic.

Hi Tom, great work as always, are the action potentials the DRG generates the same as the ectopic impulses you have spoke about previously?
