Abstract:
A hemispheric asymmetry of the visceral pain sensitivity control was revealed in the BALB/c mice: animals with the left hemisphere inactivation did not differ from sham-operated control mice in respect to the pain response parameters. A right hemisphere inactivation reduced or suppressed the pain response. This suggests that the right hemisphere domineers in the visceral pain control.
