Mice were placed on the hot plate (55 ± 0.1 °C). The mice were constrained to the hot plate by clear acrylic walls (19 cm tall, open top). The latency in time to respond with either hind paw lick, hind paw flick, or jump was recorded and the mouse was immediately removed from the hot plate and returned to its home cage.
