“…Other studies have demonstrated pain-related depression of ICSS in rats by other noxious stimuli, including surgical incision of the hindpaw (Ewan and Martin, 2014), administration of formalin into the hindpaw (M. Leitl and S. S. Negus, unpublished observations), and systemic administration of lipopolysaccharide (Borowski et al, 1998;Barr et al, 2003). However, ICSS was not depressed in rats by spinal nerve ligation, a procedure used to model neuropathic pain (Ewan and Martin, 2011).…”
