behavior/neurological
• fail to show significant changes in mechanical pain thresholds after injection of complete Freund's adjuvant

hyperalgesia
(
J:157013
)
• complete Freund's adjuvant injected mice recover from thermal hyperalgesia within 48 hours whereas wild-type injected mice do not
|
nervous system
• the peak amplitude reached in neurons that develop full action potentials is significantly lower
• neither the rheobase of the neurons nor the number of action potentials they fire at 2x rheobase are altered by Nippostrongylus brasiliensis infection
|
• only 66% of neurons exhibit full action potentials
