Attentional Bias Towards Visual Itch and Pain Stimuli in Itch- and Pain-free Individuals?
Acta Dermato-Venereologica, 2020 Itch and pain are important attention-demanding sensations that allow adaptive responses to potential bodily harm. An attentional bias towards itch and pain stimuli, i.e.

Investigation of itch in Parkinson disease [PDF]
, 2021 Introduction: Sensory abnormalities (eg, pain) are common in Parkinson disease (PD) with a negative impact on quality of life. As itch is less studied in PD, and pain and itch partially share sensory pathways, we designed this study to identify the ...

A spinal neural circuitry for converting touch to itch sensation
Nature Communications, 2020 Light touch can sometimes induce unpleasant itch sensation but the neural correlates of this conversion are not well studied. Here, the authors provide evidence that Tac2 expressing spinal interneurons are connected to gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (

Attentional interference, but no attentional bias, by tonic itch and pain stimulation
, 2022 Introduction: Attentional processes are involved in the experience of itch and pain. They interrupt task performance (ie, attentional interference) or bias allocation of attention toward the somatosensory stimulation, that is, attentional bias (AB ...

The prelimbic cortex regulates itch processing by controlling attentional bias
iScience, 2023 Summary: Itch is a complex and unpleasant sensory experience. Recent studies have begun to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying the modulation of sensory and emotional components of itch in the brain.

Central Mechanisms of Itch [PDF]
, 2016 This chapter summarizes recent findings regarding the central transmission of acute and chronic itch. Itch is transduced by cutaneous pruriceptors that transmit signals to neurons in the superficial spinal cord.

Attentional Bias Modification Training for Itch: A Proof-of-Principle Study in Healthy Individuals
Frontiers in Medicine, 2021 Itch draws our attention to allow imposing action against bodily harm (e.g., remove insects). At the same time, itch is found to interfere with ongoing tasks and daily life goals.
