Noxious Stimuli Evoke a Biphasic Flexor Reflex Composed of A δ-Fiber-Mediated Short-Latency and C-Fiber-Mediated Long-Latency Withdrawal Movements in Mice

The nociceptive flexor reflex was studied in mice, focusing in particular on movement. Electrical stimuli delivered to the ventral aspect of the toe through a pair of needle electrodes inserted subcutaneously elicited a biphasic withdrawal reflex that was composed of short- and long-latency movement...
