Article Description

Pain is one of the most important variables that members of the lab animal science community try to control and minimize, and it is a critical topic of research in clinical and basic sciences. Objective measurements of pain severity, especially in non-verbal animals that are used as disease models, can be difficult to obtain, but several developments in behavioral neuroscience are making the measurement of pain more consistent, automated and accurate.
