Two experiments were conducted to determine whether the amygdala is involved in the performance of hypoalgesia as a Pavlovian conditional response. Rats were trained by pairing a distinctive observation chamber with a series of 3 footshocks. Rats were returned to the chamber 24 hr later, and the time spent engaged in freezing behavior and stereotyped behavioral reactions to a subcutaneous injection of dilute formalin was recorded. Sham-operated subjects spent large amounts of time freezing and were hypoalgesic on the formalin test in relation to nonshocked controls.
