Abstract
Some patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) suffer from pain before motor symptoms. To model this, we proposed to assess the mechanical hypersensitivity in an animal model of PD with a bilateral lesion of the nigrostriatal pathway. PD model was validated by a decrease of locomotor activity and a 76% dopamine cell loss in the substantia nigra pars compacta. PD animals displayed a decrease of mechanical thresholds, correlated with the degree of the dopamine lesion. This animal model displays nociceptive disorders as found in PD patients and could be useful to assess the effects of new antiparkinsonian drugs.

[name] => Electronic Von Frey 5 with embedded camera
[description_short] => As an electronic version of the classical Von Frey Filaments esthesiometer (or aesthesiometer), the latest evolution of Bioseb's Electronic Von Frey instrument for determining the mechanical sensitivity threshold in rodents (rats and mice) is a must-have instrument for your reseach on hyperalgesia and allodynia. By measuring and recording the force at which the animal exhibits a paw withdrawal reflex, pathologies related to sensory response and hyper- or hypo-aesthesia can be studied.
The EVF5 includes an embedded camera inside the stimulator handle and a new, dedicated software revolutionizing the experimental process.
