Multimodal Enhancement of Colonic Motility by Acupuncture at ST36 is Mediated by TRPV1+ Cutaneous Sensory Fibers
Through the use of spatiotemporally precise optogenetic control, our study revealed that TRPV1<sup>+</sup> sensory fibers at ST36 are the major convergent pathway for multimodal (electrical/mechanical/thermal/chemical) enhancement of colorectal motility by acupuncture.
