The effects of WIN55,212-2 and the EP on pain sensitivity

Vehicle(n = 6)EP(n = 5)EP+WIN55,212-2(n = 6)
Pain threshold for foot shock (mA)0.26 ± 0.010.24 ± 0.010.24 ± 0.01
  • Rats microinjected into the BLA with vehicle (n = 6), placed on the EP (n = 5), or microinjected with WIN55,212-2 and placed on the EP (WIN_5 + EP, n = 6) showed similar pain sensitivity responses to electric footshock.
