High-speed videography reveals differences in paw movements to innocuous vs noxious stimuli. Red paw trajectory patterns display path of stimulated paw from lift to return using automated paw tracking approaches. Orbital (eye) tightening, a MGS action unit indicative of pain, is also visible after pinprick (B), but not in response to an innocuous stimulus (A).
