## Abstract The purpose of this study was to refine a method of nerveβroot injury in the rat to produce hyperalgesia, a painβrelated behavior, and to determine if there were any relationships between the histological extent of nerveβroot injury and the magnitude of hyperalgesia. Three methods were
The caudate nucleus or the tuberculum olfactorium of the rat was lesioned by bilateral stereotaxic injection of 6-hydroxydopamine. The degree of dopamine depletion was assessed by a sensitive regional dopamine assay and revealed severe depletions in the lesioned areas. The locomotor response to a lo
## Abstract Damage to the nervous system often results in neuropathic pain. Current treatment for this disabling state is unsuccessful due to our incomplete understanding of cellular mechanisms causing this pain. Although glial cells were largely ignored in most textbooks of pain, accumulating evid
