Spinal bombesin-recognized neurones mediate more nonhistaminergic than histaminergic sensation of itch in mice.
There may be distinct pathways for transmission of histaminergic and nonhistaminergic itch, but all scratching behaviours elicited by histamine-dependent and histamine-independent pruritogens are diminished when spinal bombesin-recognized neurones are ablated. ⋯ These results suggest that spinal bombesin-recognized neurones are critical to both the histamine-dependent and histamine-independent pathways for itch, and that they mediate more nonhistaminergic than histaminergic sensation of itch in mice.
