Although the intensity of the infrared beam had to be maximized in order to elicit even a weak but measurable withdrawal response (consistent with a surgical plane of anaesthesia) a pair-wise t-test performed on temporally adjacent stimulation sets across all animals revealed no significant differences in withdrawal latency between activated and deactivated states (Figure 3, n = 10, p = 0.31).
