Refractory intervals in Aα/β low threshold mechanoreceptors in OA versus CTL.

Notes: In each case the median (horizontal line) is superimposed. Refractory intervals in various neuronal types (G/F neurons, glabrous rapidly adapting neurons, SA neurons, Pacinian neurons, and MS neurons) are shown, and the comparison between OA and CTL is shown for each neuron type. Each dot represents a recording from one neuron.

Abbreviations: CTL, control animals; G/F, guard and field hair; MS, muscle spindle; OA, osteoarthritis; SA, slowly adapting.
