Font color of abbreviations refers to the genetically distinct type of nociception or hypersensitivity identified previously [17]: (red) thermal nociception in otherwise naïve mice; (green) spontaneous responses to noxious chemical/inflammatory stimuli; (orange) thermal hypersensitivity; (blue) mechanical hypersensitivity; (purple) afferent input-dependent hypersensitivity. Brown font refers to mechanical sensitivity in naïve mice and mechanical nociception. Black font is used for assays newly included in the current analysis.
