RESUMO:

Exposure of animals to threatening situations (of an innate or learned nature) induces a set of species-specific defense behaviors, among them, antinociception. It has been shown that rodents exposed to the open high cross maze (four open arms, LCEa), an aversive situation, exhibit high magnitude antinociception. However, the mecanism involved in such antinociception have not yet been elucidated. The present study investigated whether antinociception induced in female rats exposed to LCEa could be reversed by microinjection of midazolam into the posterior hypothalamus. For this, female rats received a right unilateral cannula implant in the posterior hypothalamus. One to three days after the implantation of the cannula, the animals were manipulated and habituated to the experimental room for three days. On the day of the test, animals were submitted to the formalin test (2.5%, 0.05 mL) injected subcutaneously into the right hind paw and then the first test phase (5 minutes initial) was recorded in a glass vat . Fifteen minutes after formalin injection, the animals received microinjection of saline or midazolam (5 nmoles) into the posterior hypothalamus. And, twenty-five minutes after the formalin injection, the animals were individually exposed to the closed or open ECL for recording the lick time on the foot for 10 minutes (Phase 2: 25-35 minutes). During the second phase of the formalin test, the experiment was recorded through a computer-camera circuit for further behavior analysis and nociceptive response analysis. The results show that the female rats exhibited high labyrinthine induced antinociception, but this response was not reversed by microinjection of midazolam (5 nmoles) in the posterior hypothalamus. However, for a more robust conclusion about the involvement of the posterior hypothalamus in the LCAa-induced antinociception, additional studies are required at different doses since the literature indicates that larger doses appear to have an effect on the posterior hypothalamus in animal models of fearinduced antinociception.
