Abstract excerpt
The analgesic responses of humans and laboratory animals are characterized by substantial individual differences. The genetic basis of this variability can be studied experimentally in rodents using a program of selective breeding. One such program selected for high (HA) and low (LA) swim stress-induced analgesia (SSIA) on the hot-plate (56 degrees C) test in Swiss-Webster mice. These lines, which have been...
