Abstract

The sensation of itch-defined as unpleasant sensation inducing the urge to scratch-is processed by a network of different brain regions contributing to the encoding of sensory, emotional, attention- dependent, cognitive-evaluative and motivational patterns. Patients with atopic eczema show different activation patterns and kinetics compared to healthy volunteers. This review summarizes current studies investigating itch in the brain.
