Abstract:
The possibility of using the tail flick test as a model for studies of the cognitive component of nociception in rats was evaluated. The results were compared with the data of active avoidance test in a shuttle chamber. The results demonstrate the methodological potentialities of the tail flick test as a convenient model for training of animals in studies of the nociceptive reactions.
