Fig. 2 Summary of forearm skin blood perfusion differences plotted against time for each of the experimental groups (mean ± SEM; n = 10 for all groups). Negative values represent a decrease and positive values an increase in skin blood perfusion from baseline. Significant differences between groups: *P ≤.01; †P ≤ Legend: ▴, above motor threshold; ●, below motor threshold; ■, perception threshold; □, control.
