Representative examples of responses of MIAs to chemical stimuli and acquisition of mechanosensitivity. A: most MIAs that acquired mechanosensitivity (23/31) did not respond to direct application of inflammatory soup (IS) or capsaicin (Cap) but responded to 1.4 g probing. B: some MIAs (8/31) that acquired mechanosensitivity also responded directly to the application of IS and/or Cap. C: a small proportion of MIAs (4/64 studied and exclusive to the splanchnic pathway) responded to chemical stimuli (IS or Cap) but did not acquire mechanosensitivity. Subgroups of MIAs are activated (IS+) or not (IS−) by IS and acquired (M+) or not (M−) mechanosensitivity to probing.
