The Effect of Caffeine on the Neurobehavioral and Neuropathological Outcome of the Newborn Rat
DownloadSpring 2010
Caffeine is used for the treatment of apnea of prematurity. The objective of this study was to determine the long term neuropathological and neurobehavioral effects of caffeine on the immature rat brain. Newborn rats were injected with either caffeine, or normal saline from postnatal days 3 to 7,...

The effect of long-term interleukin-1 beta exposure on sensory neuron electrical membrane properties: implications for neuropathic pain
DownloadSpring 2011
The effect of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) on the electrical properties of sensory neurons was assessed at comparable levels and exposure times to those found in animal models of neuropathic pain. Experiments involved whole cell current- or voltage-clamp recordings from rat dorsal root ganglion...
