Journal ArticleDOI

Naked Mole-Rats: Blind, Naked, and Feeling No Pain.

TL;DR: The naked mole‐rat may be an extreme model of adaptation to subterranean life and provides insights into the complex interplay of evolutionary adaptations to the constraints of subterranean living.
Journal ArticleDOI

Altered cochlear innervation in developing and mature naked and Damaraland mole rats

TL;DR: Differences in cochlear innervation specifically between the two subterranean rodents and more broadly among rodents provides insight into the coChlear mechanisms that enhance frequency sensitivity and sound localization, maturation of the auditory system, and the evolutionary adaptations occurring in response to subterranean environments.
Journal ArticleDOI

The naked mole-rat has a functional purinergic pain pathway despite having a non-functional peptidergic pain pathway.

TL;DR: It is established that the purinergic C-fiber pathway is present and functional in naked mole-rats and that cannabinoid-mediated analgesia occurs in this species.
Book ChapterDOI

Sensory Systems of the African Naked Mole-Rat.

TL;DR: Naked mole-rats share some sensory characteristics with other subterraneans, including lack of object vision, retention of the ability to entrain their circadian rhythm to light, and poor hearing as mentioned in this paper.
