abstract：:Pain consists of sensory and negative affective components. Using a conditioned place aversion (CPA) paradigm, we investigated whether the medial thalamus (MT) played a role in the affective component of visceral pain induced by intraperitoneal injection of acetic acid into male Long-Evan rats. Acetic acid produced wr...
