Selective spider toxins reveal a role for Na(v)1.1 channel in mechanical pain

Voltage-gated sodium (Na(v)) channels initiate action potentials in most neurons, including primary afferent nerve fibers of the pain pathway. Local anesthetics block pain through non-specific actions at all Na(v) channels, but the discovery of selective modulators would facilitate the analysis of i...
