The description of itch (formally known as pruritus) as an "unpleasant sensation that elicits the desire or reflex to scratch" (Ikoma et al., 2006) is immediately familiar. Research in the field of pruritoception has added to our understanding of this area of sensory neurobiology as it pertains to both normal and pathological conditions. In particular, much progress has been made on the mechanisms and circuits of itch, which we review here.
瘙痒(正式名称为瘙痒)的描述为“一种不愉快的感觉,会引起搔抓的欲望或反射”(Ikoma 等人,2006 年),这是立即熟悉的。瘙痒感觉传入的研究增加了我们对这一感觉神经生物学领域的理解,包括正常和病理条件。特别是,在瘙痒的机制和回路方面已经取得了很大的进展,我们在这里对此进行综述。
