Studies of pain, stress, and immunity. Manuscripts under review Sternberg, W.F., Sex differences in the effects of prenatal stress on stress-induced analgesia. Estrogen-dependent alterations in analgesic magnitude inducd by prenatal stress.

Female mice display less pain behavior than males following acetic acid or formalin administration. A genetic analysis of swim-stress induced analgesia in selectively bred mice. Delayed application of MK-801 attenuates development of morphine tolerance in the rat. Comparison across three swim stress paradigms. Swim stress produced analgesia in the formalin test is mediated via the NMDA receptor.
