Range	-42 to -62 mV
Organism	Rat Rattus norvegicus

Method	"To assess the excitability, the DRG neurons were held at their resting potentials (range between -42 and -62 mV), and a ramp of depolarizing current (1 s in duration) was applied to the neuron wherein the amplitude of the ramp was adjusted to produce three to four action potentials (APs) under control conditions."
