Schematic summary of cellular and functional responses to ipsilateral (Ipsi) nerve injury to sciatic nerve or associated spinal nerves detected in target tissue or sensory neurons in DRG contralateral (Contra L4–6 DRG) or remote (C4 DRG) to injury, illustrating the importance of including naïve controls in the experimental design. CSF: Cerebrospinal fluid; DRG; dorsal root ganglia; IL-6: interleukin-6.
