Objective To investigate the alteration of mood and hippocampal microglia morphology in a mouse model of chronic inflammatory pain induced by complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA). Methods Thirty-two male ICR mice were randomly divided into two groups,including normal saline control group (NS) and CFA model group (CFA). The pain model was established by right hindpaw intraplantar CFA injection. The change of mechanical pain threshold after CFA injection was measured by von Frey fiber needle,the locomotor activity and anxiety-like behavior were dete...
