Activation of NPY2R-expressing amygdala neurons inhibits itch behavior in mice without lateralization

Activation of NPY2R-expressing amygdala neurons inhibits itch behavior in mice without lateralization

Abstract The central amygdala (CeA) is a crucial hub in the processing of affective itch, containing a diverse array of neuronal populations. Among these components, Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and its receptors, such as NPY2R, affect various physiological and psychological processes. Despite this broad im...
