| | The Mystery of Itch, the Joy of Scratch |
| | Itch is a sensation that links the skin, the spinal cord and the brain in a kind of circular neural superhighway with exits all along the way. | | | Until recently, researchers thought that feelings of itch traveled to the brain along the same nerves as feelings of pain, and that, in fact, itch was really just an attenuated form of pain. | | | But financing for itch research is hard to come by, and effective treatment options for itchy patients are quite limited. |
