  Finally,

  the total number of cells per DRG (NDRG) was 
  
  NDRG ¼ Nv 3 VDRG 
  
  For quantification of the proportion of FB-labelled cells co- 
  labelled with afferent subpopulation markers, initially, the total 
  number of FB-filled neuronal cell profiles with a visible nucleus 
  anywhere within the section was counted, with the observer blind 
  to other channels. The other channel was then revealed, and 
  instances of co-labelling were quantified. No stereological 
  correction was applied, given that the similar size of neuronal 
  nuclei would prevent over-counts of large neurons and that no 
  comparisons of the total number of labelled cells were made. For 
  soma area analyses, the area of neuronal soma expressing the 
  appropriate marker was measured in the optical section within 
  the Z-stack in which that neuron was at its largest, by drawing 
  around the perimeter of the neuron in Fiji/ImageJ v2.14.0/1.54f. 
  
  2.7. Gene Ontology 
  
  Gene Ontology term analyses were performed on previously 
  published mouse subtype RNA-seq after SNI (GSE2164443). In 
  this study, subtype-specific bulk RNA-seq was performed on 5 
  transgenic mouse lines through reporter labelling and fluores- 
  cence activated cell sorting. spliced transcripts alignment to 
  a reference was used to map reads to the GRCm38 (mm10) 
  Mouse Genome,14 and Samtools was used to sort, index, and 
  merge Binary Alignment Map files in line with published reports.28 
  Quality control was performed as per Barry et al.3 Downstream 
  analyses were performed using DESeq2 on grouped male and 
  female samples.31 For differentially expressed genes (false 
  discovery rate) (FDR , 0.05, LFC .1) (log-fold change), GO 
  analyses were performed using the Wallenius method using 
  goSeq (R). In this study, significantly regulated terms related to
