presumably related to neuropathic pain. Partial sciatic ligation (PSL) in rats produces tactile
allodynia and heat hyperalgesia but not autotomy. Our aims in this study were to
examine:(1) whether sensibility of intact rats to noxious and non-noxious stimuli is strain-
dependent;(2) whether sensibility of intact rats could predict levels of autotomy, or of
allodynia and hyperalgesia in the PSL model; and (3) whether autotomy levels are …
