Abstract
The present study (1) examined analgesic effects of systemically and spinally administered antidepressants (ADs) on phase 2 flinching and biting/licking behaviours in the rat formalin test, a model considered to be of greater relevance to clinical pain than acute threshold tests, and (2) detKeywords
