A new central post-stroke pain rat model: autologous blood injected thalamic hemorrhage involved increased expression of P2X4 receptor
Publication date: 20 November 2018Source: Neuroscience Letters, Volume 687Author(s): Hai-Feng Lu, Chun-Yang Xu, Lei Zhang, Lei Gan, Chan Chen, Man-Yun Yan, Xiao-Ning Guo, Qi Fang, Guang-Yin Xu, Yan-Bo Zhang, Jian-Qiang Ni, Hong-Ru ZhaoAbstractStroke is the leading cause of disability and death in the world. Central post-stroke pain (CPSP), a central neuropathic pain syndrome occurring after cerebral stroke, is a serious problem. But on account of the lack of reliable animal models, the mechanisms underlying CPSP remains poorly understood. To better understand of the pathophysiological basis of CPSP, we developed and charac...

Establishment of optimal two-point discrimination test method and consideration of reproducibility
Publication date: Available online 30 September 2019Source: Neuroscience LettersAuthor(s): Hirotake Yokota, Naofumi Otsuru, Rie Kikuchi, Rinako Suzuki, Sho Kojima, Kei Saito, Shota Miyaguchi, Yasuto Inukai, Hideaki OnishiAbstractTwo-point discrimination (TPD) has been widely used as a parameter for the examination of higher-order perceptual functions in the field of rehabilitation. Previous research has shown that the threshold of TPD increases with aging or pathological conditions such as stroke or chronic pain. It has also been reported that the threshold can be decreased by continuous tactile or electrical stimulation. ...
