Effect of duloxetine on brain activity in oxaliplatin-treated macaques. (a) Systemic duloxetine ameliorated oxaliplatin-induced cold hypersensitivity; withdrawal latencies to 10 °C in either cycle were significantly increased (***P < 0.001, Paired t-test). Values are expressed as mean ± SD. (b) After duloxetine treatment, voxels in the secondary somatosensory cortex (SII) and the insular cortex (Ins) were no different compared to that of intact (pre-oxaliplatin infusion) macaques, (P < 0.01, uncorrected). (c) Activation in the SII and Ins was significantly decreased after duloxetine treatment, compared with brain activity before duloxetine treatment (P < 0.01, uncorrected; Table 4). In (b) and (c), a series of coronal slices, spaced by 4 mm, are arranged from rostral (upper-left, y = 24) to caudal (lower-right, y = −16). Cb, cerebellum; MI, primary motor cortex.
