Brain processing of contagious itch in patients with atopic dermatitis [PDF]
, 2017 Several studies show that itch and scratching cannot only be induced by pruritogens like histamine or cowhage, but also by the presentation of certain (audio-) visual stimuli like pictures on crawling insects or videos showing other people scratching ...

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+

Distinct roles of NMB and GRP in itch transmission [PDF]
, 2017 A key question in our understanding of itch coding mechanisms is whether itch is relayed by dedicated molecular and neuronal pathways. Previous studies suggested that gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) is an itch-specific neurotransmitter. Neuromedin B (NMB)

Sensory TRP channels contribute differentially to skin inflammation and persistent itch
Nature Communications, 2017 Allergic contact dermatitis is associated both with persistent itch and inflammation, but it is not known if these are mediated by shared signaling pathways.

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.

Environmental influences on induction of itching and scratching using immersive virtual reality
Scientific Reports, 2023 Chronic itching is a serious and uncomfortable condition. The scratch response might result in a vicious cycle of alternating itching and scratching.

Glial cells are involved in itch processing [PDF]
, 2016 Recent discoveries in itch neurophysiology include itch-selective neuronal pathways, the clinically relevant non-histaminergic pathway, and elucidation of the notable similarities and differences between itch and pain.
