Greetings, community!
I am mastering visceral pain experiments. We are looking for an easy way to detect visceral pain specific behavior in mice. I have found a couple of articles in which specific behaviors are counted:
- licking the abdomen
- stretching the abdomen
- abdominal retractions
- squashing of abdominen against the floor
I completely understand the meaning of all these terms, but I cannot recognize correct behavioral manifistation (besides licking -- it is relatively obvious).
Could anybody provide a video with examples of each of these behaviors? I have found only one image on ResearchGate about rats phenotypes, but it didin't help much.
Dear Cem Perk, thank you for your reply. Probably, I was not clear enough with the question. I just want to know what these behaviors, or ethograms, look like. I can't recognize squashing, stretching, or retractions when observing my mice.
