Abstract:
:Various limbic system structures have been implicated in processing noxious information. One such structure is the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), a region that is thought to modulate higher order processing of noxious input related to the affective/motivational component of pain. The present experiment examined the involvement of the ACC in higher order pain processing by measuring paw withdrawal threshold and escape/avoidance responses in the L5 spinal nerve ligation model of neuropathic pain before and following electrolytic lesion of the ACC. In the place/escape avoidance paradigm, the afflicted paw is mechanically stimulated when the animal is in the preferred dark area of the chamber and the contralateral paw is stimulated when the animal is in the light area. Escape/avoidance was defined as a shift from the preferred dark area to an increase of time spent in the light area of the chamber. Animals with L5 ligation had significantly lower mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (hypersensitivity) and enhanced escape/avoidance behavior. ACC lesion in animals with L5 ligation did not alter mechanical hypersensitivity, but did significantly decrease escape/avoidance behavior. Anxiety, as measured using the light-enhanced startle paradigm, was not altered by ACC lesion. These results highlight the utility of novel behavioral test paradigms and provide additional support for the role of the ACC in higher order processing of noxious information, suggesting that ACC lesions selectively decrease negative affect associated with neuropathy-induced hypersensitivity.
