behavior. The first animal models of neuropathic pain (NP) were developed in rodents with a …

Peripheral nerve injury is a common posttraumatic complication. The precise surgical repair
of nerve lesion does not always guarantee satisfactory motor and sensory function recovery …

Complete severance of major peripheral mixed sensory–motor nerve proximally in a
