Behavioral assays Request a detailed protocol Behavioral assays for the same cohorts were handled by a single experimenter. Prior to experimentation, the experimenter was blinded to the identity of animals. The genotypes ana/or the mice with AAV1 injections were randomized within cohorts wherever possible. Mice were habituated in their home cages for at least 30 min in the behavior room before experiments.

AbstractStress is a potent modulator of pain. Specifically, acute stress due to physical restraint induces stress-induced analgesia (SIA). However, where and how acute stress and pain pathways interface in the brain are poorly understood. Here, we describe how the dorsal lateral septum (dLS), a forebrain limbic nucleus, facilitates SIA through its downstream targets in the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) of mice.
