Figure 2From: Mechanisms involved in an increment of multimodal excitability of medullary and upper cervical dorsal horn neurons following cutaneous capsaicin treatmentNocifensive behaviors to heat, cold or mechanical stimulus of the lateral facial skin. A: Mean head-withdrawal latency to heating of the skin, Aa: EMG activity recorded from the splenius capitis muscle during heating of the skin, B: Mean number of face-scratching episodes following topical administration of acetone to the skin, C: Mean head-withdrawal threshold to mechanical stimulus of the skin. *: p < 0.05, **: p < 0.01. Veh: vehicle for capsaicin, Cap: capsaicin.Back to article page
