Comparison of mechanosensitivity among Nav1.8^ChR2-positive Aβ-fiber mechanoreceptors, Aδ-fiber mechanoreceptors, and C-fiber mechanoreceptors. A Comparison of von Frey threshold of Nav1.8^ChR2-positive Aβ-fiber mechanoreceptors, Nav1.8^ChR2-positive Aδ-fiber mechanoreceptors, and Nav1.8^ChR2-positive C-fiber mechanoreceptors. B Comparison of indenter force threshold of Nav1.8^ChR2-positive Aβ-fiber mechanoreceptors, Nav1.8^ChR2-positive Aδ-fiber mechanoreceptors, Nav1.8^ChR2-positive C-fiber mechanoreceptors. C Comparison of impulse frequency evoked by different forces (5, 30 and 80 mN) applied by indenter in Nav1.8^ChR2-positive Aβ-fiber mechanoreceptors, Nav1.8^ChR2-positive Aδ-fiber mechanoreceptors, and Nav1.8^ChR2-positive C-fiber mechanoreceptors. Data are from Figs. 3, 4, 5 and replotted here for comparison. Data represent individual observations and/or mean ± SEM, *p < 0.05, ns, not significantly different
