Figure 3. C-fiber responses to mechanical stimuli.

Figure 3

a-c, digitized oscilloscope tracings of a C-fiber responsive to mechanical stimuli. Three consecutive recording show increasing responses to the ascending series of ramp shaped force stimuli (a, 10 mN, b, 20mN and C, 40mN). d-f, digitized oscilloscope tracing of a C-fiber responsive to mechanical stimuli recorded from mice incised in the plantar hind paw one day before recording (d, 10 mN, e, 20mN and f, 40mN). g-h, comparison of mechanical response thresholds between control and incised mice. Comparison of total evoked spikes in the low (i) and high (j) threshold afferents to suprathreshold mechanical stimuli. . P<0.01 vs control, Bonferroni’s post-hoc test.
