Pain and itch coding mechanisms of polymodal sensory neurons
Cell Reports, 2023 Summary: Pain and itch coding mechanisms in polymodal sensory neurons remain elusive. MrgprD+ neurons represent a major polymodal population and mediate both mechanical pain and nonhistaminergic itch. Here, we show that chemogenetic activation of MrgprD+
