This finding is in line with previous literature reporting hypoalgesia in defeated intruders
-
It can be hypothesized that such hypoalgesia is a byproduct of a learning process deriving from the acquirement of social status.
-
In the present study, we also report an effect of social status on acute pain, so that the repeated defeat experience reduced pain sensitivity (hypoalgesia) in the subordinate subjects.
