Journal ArticleDOI

The itch-producing agents histamine and cowhage activate separate populations of primate spinothalamic tract neurons.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the spinothalamic tract contains mutually exclusive populations of neurons responsive to histamine or the nonhistaminergic itch-producing agent cowhage.
Journal ArticleDOI

The multiple pathways for itch and their interactions with pain

TL;DR: The current understanding of the production and inhibition of itch is described and a model of itch processing within the CNS is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relief of itch by scratching: state-dependent inhibition of primate spinothalamic tract neurons

TL;DR: It is observed that scratching the cutaneous receptive field of primate STT neurons produced inhibition during histamine-evoked activity but not during spontaneous activity or activity evoked by a painful stimulus, suggesting that scratching inhibits the transmission of itch in the spinal cord in a state-dependent manner.
