Orexin neurons play contrasting roles in itch and pain neural processing via projecting to the periaqueductal gray
Abstract Pain and itch are recognized as antagonistically regulated sensations; pain suppresses itch, whilst pain inhibition enhances itch. The neural mechanisms at the central nervous system (CNS) underlying these pain-itch interactions still need to be explored. Here, we revealed the contrasting r...
