Figure 5. Sanshool induces bursting activity in a subset of sensory fibers.

Figure 5

A) Representative traces of D-hair, RA-Aβ and C-fibers that exhibited burst pattern action potential firing, and the number of such fibers found in each class. The box in each example at the left indicates a region of interest that is expanded to the right of each trace. Note that the time scale is identical for each fiber, thereby reflecting differences in their pattern of burst firing. No SA-Aβ fibers displayed burst firing. B) Comparison of burst firing properties across fiber types. Left: Average number of action potentials fired per burst. Right: Average duration of individual burst and length of interval between bursts for each fiber type. *indicates a significant difference among groups (one-way ANOVA; p < 0.01).
