appendix C About the Authors Gerald F. Gebhart (Chair), PhD, is Professor and Director of the Center for Pain Research at the University of Pittsburgh. He has more than three decades of experience in pain research that has focused on endogenous systems of pain control and mechanisms of hypersensitivity, most recently visceral hypersensitivity. Dr. Gebhart has developed widely used animal models for the study of mechanisms of postoperative, incisional, and vis- ceral pain (stomach and colon). He has served on the ILAR Council, as editor of the ILAR Journal, and on the ILAR committees that produced Rec- ognition and Alleviation of Pain and Distress in Laboratory Animals (1992) and the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (1996). He is a Past President of the American Pain Society, current Editor in Chief of the Societyâs Journal of Pain, and President (2008-2011) of the International Association for the Study of Pain. Allan I. Basbaum, PhD, FRS, IOM, is Professor and Chair of the Depart- ment of Anatomy and a member of the W.M. Keck Foundation Center for Integrative Neurosciences at the University of California San Francisco. He has studied the peripheral and central nervous system mechanisms that underlie the generation and control of pain for over four decades. A major component of his research involves behavioral analysis of animals, including responses to peripheral stimulation in the setting of tissue or nerve injury. His laboratory uses a variety of injury conditions that model clinical pain states, so that novel therapeutic targets for the control of pain may be identified. Assessment and measurement of pain behavior are thus critical 16

Kelley, DVM, MS, is Clinical Associate Professor at the Uni- versity of Washington and a retired Supervisory Veterinarian and Head of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery at the Washington National Primate Research Center. As a Diplomate of the American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine, he has over 33 years of experience working with nonhu- man primates (both Old and New World species) in clinical and research settings. Additionally, Dr. Kelley has served as a member of the Council on Accreditation of the Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Labo- ratory Animal Care (AAALAC) International since 1998. Jane Lacher, DVM, is Clinical Veterinarian for the Dow Chemical Company Toxicology and Environmental Research and Consulting Laboratory, where she is responsible for the care and welfare of a variety of animal species in studies of chronic oncogenicity, metabolism, immunotoxicology, neuro- toxicology, and respiratory, acute, genetic, reproductive, and developmental toxicology. Dr. Lacher dialogues with and advises coworkers on humane practices and endpoints involving animals in toxicology studies and is a member of the Dow Chemical Company Animal Welfare Opportunity Team responsible for ensuring a corporate commitment to animal welfare, both within the corporation and for studies at contract research organizations. Georgia Mason, PhD, is Canada Research Chair in Animal Welfare and a member of the IACUC at the University of Guelph. Her main research inter- est is the chronic effects of standard housing on brain, behavior, and wel- fare. She is particularly interested in the use of behavioral measures (e.g., preference/avoidance; abnormal activities such as stereotypy) in objective welfare assessment. Her laboratory animal welfare projects include stud- ies on the effects of early enrichment on later welfare in mice; of different enrichments on alopecia, aggression, and corticosteroid excretion in rhesus macaques; of different cage-cleaning regimes on rat and mouse welfare (in collaboration with Harlan UK); and of weaning age on mouse anxiety. She also studies the use of chromodacryorrhea and corticosterone from single micturations in assessing acute stress in the rat.
10 RECOGNITION AND ALLEVIATION OF PAIN IN LABORATORY ANIMALS Lynne U. Sneddon, PhD, is Lecturer at the University of Liverpool. Her current research program examines pain, fear, and stress in fish using fMRI and other techniques in neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, genomics, whole animal physiology, and behavior. She first identified nociceptors in fish and embarked on projects aimed at understanding the importance of the nociceptive experience to fish and how to alleviate their pain by examining a number of analgesics. She was part of the working group of the Council of Europeâs Farmed Fish Welfare guidelines endorsed in June 2006. She is a member of the European Food Safety Associationâs working group on farmed fish welfare and of the Association for the Study of Animal Behavior (ASAB) ethical committee.
