behavior/neurological
N |
• mice display normal locomotor activities, motor skills and coordination, anxiety, and spatial learning and memory
|
• mice exhibit more hind limb placement errors in the grid-walking task compared with wild-type mice indicating mild impairment of gross motor skills
• however, fine motor skills involving fore limbs are normal
|
• mechano-sensitivity following inflammation induced by capsaicin or carrageenan is decreased compared to in similarly treated wild-type mice
• however, nor-BNI treatment restores pain response in the carrageenan and formalin models
|
hypoalgesia
(
J:74345
)
• mice exhibit decreased neuropathic pain behavior compared with similarly treated wild-type mice
• however, treatment with nor-BNI decreases the neuropathic pain threshold
|
• mice exhibit increased threshold required to elicit withdrawal of hind paw in response to mechanical pressure compared with wild-type mice
• however, treatment with naloxone or nor-BNI decreases pain threshold
|
• in chemically mediated visceral pain tests, mice exhibit reduced response compared with similarly treated wild-type mice
• licking following administration of capsaicin is deceased compared to in similarly treated wild-type mice
|
• mice exhibit longer latency to withdrawal in a tail-flick test compared with wild-type mice
• however, treatment with naloxone or nor-BNI decreases pain threshold
