Alpha-2 receptor mediates the endogenous antagonistic regulation of itch and pain via descending noradrenaline pathway from the locus coeruleus

Pain and itch are sensations that are regulated antagonistically; painful stimulation suppresses itch, while the inhibition of pain enhances itch. However, the central neural circuit underlying this antagonistic regulation remains elusive. The noradrenaline (NA) pathway from the locus coeruleus (LC)...
