Chronic neuropathic pain alters reversal learning without generally impacting sucrose self-administration in mice

This study shows chronic neuropathic pain in mice selectively affects reversal learning and pain-reward interactions, with sex-dependent differences, without broadly impairing sucrose self-administration.
