It is envisioned that under the guidance of an effective theoretical framework, a computational analysis of the gating mechanism of MS channels is a valuable supplement to experimental investigations, both in terms of better interpreting experimental data and stimulating new mechanistic hypotheses that can be tested experimentally. A gating mechanism which was first designed in the seventies was dusted down and given a new lease of Life. Our findings are consistent with those of previous studies with experimental animals that provided both direct and indirect evidence that TENS can modify central transmission of noxious stimuli via a gating mechanism. |
