Intrinsic braking role of descending locus coeruleus noradrenergic neurons in acute and chronic itch in mice
Abstract Itch is defined as an unpleasant sensation that provokes a desire to scratch. Our understanding of neuronal circuits for itch information transmission and processing in the spinal dorsal horn (SDH) has progressively advanced following the identification of SDH neuron subsets that are crucia...
