Important new paper from Abdus-Saboor et a. describing the use of high speed video to analyze subtle features of paw withdrawal that distinguish pain-like vs. non-pain-like behaviors. [https://www.cell.com/cell-reports/fulltext/S2211-1247(19)30907-6](https://www.cell.com/cell-reports/fulltext/S2211-1247(19)30907-6) There are broad and important implications of this paper regarding how all of us do our behavior. Also, an excellent write-up on the paper from @fmoehring > **[The Mouse Pain Scale: A More Reliable and Unbiased Way to Assess Animal...](https://www.painresearchforum.org/news/124994-mouse-pain-scale-more-reliable-and-unbiased-way-assess-animal-behavior-pain-research)** > > Pain is a complex experience that differs from person to person, which makes it challenging to measure objectively in humans. It’s even more difficult to do so in rodents, considering they are nonverbal and can’t provide self-reports like people can.... With commentary from @jmogil - What do you think? Does this change your feelings about the the results and conclusions of previous studies? - Will you use this in your own studies? @tberta @liz @ShanTan @Theodore.price @thicunha @esypek @sshiers @CandlerPaige @runDRG @shanmeltzer
