Figure 9. Intra-RVM delivery of NPY does not affect behaviour in animals with sham surgery.
Behavior was evaluated in the ipsilateral and contralateral paws (relative to sham surgery) before and after microinjection of NPY (5 μg bilateral) into the RVM at t = 0. NPY did not change the withdrawal response to innocuous mechanical stimuli (Panels A–B), a noxious mechanical stimulus (Panel C), or a cold stimulus (Panel D). n=6.
