Altered neuropathic pain behaviour in a rat model of depression is associated with changes in inflammatory gene expression in the amygdala
(Wiley, 2013-08-29)
The association between chronic pain and depression is widely recognized, the comorbidity of which leads to a heavier disease burden, increased disability and poor treatment response. This study examined nociceptive ...
Enhanced nociceptive responding in two rat models of depression is associated with alterations in monoamine levels in discrete brain regions
(2010)
Altered pain responding in depression is a widely recognized but poorly understood phenomenon The present study investigated nociceptive responding to acute (thermal and mechanical) and persistent (inflammatory) noxious ...
Development and characterization of a novel, anatomically relevant rat model of acute postoperative pain
(Elsevier, 2015-01-30)
Acute postoperative pain remains a significant health care issue. Development of anatomically relevant animal models of postoperative pain, with improved predictive validity, would advance understanding of postoperative ...
Validation of an air-puff passive-avoidance paradigm for assessment of aversive learning and memory in rat models of chronic pain
(Elsevier, 2011-11)
Chronic pain is associated with cognitive deficits. Considerable overlap in brain regions involved in pain and aversion suggests that aversive learning and memory may be affected during chronic pain. Passive-avoidance ...
Characterization of the affective component of acute postoperative pain associated with a novel rat model of inguinal hernia repair pain
(Wiley, 2015-12-10)
Aims: Acute postoperative pain remains a significant healthcare issue. Historically, the assessment of postoperative pain in rodents has relied on evoked withdrawal or reflexive measures. Using a recently developed, ...
Impaired recognition memory and cognitive flexibility in the rat L5-L6 spinal nerve ligation model of neuropathic pain
(De Gruyter, 2016-01-01)
Background and aims: Although neuropathic pain is known to negatively affect cognition, the neural mechanisms involved are poorly understood. Chronic pain is associated with changes in synaptic plasticity in the brain which ...
