Functional neuroimaging studies have identified itch-related brain regions. However, no
study has investigated the temporal aspect of itch-related brain processing. Here this issue
was investigated using electrically evoked itch in ten healthy adults. Itch stimuli were applied
to the left wrist and brain activity was measured using magnetoencephalography (MEG) and
functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). In the MEG experiment, the magnetic
responses evoked by the itch stimuli were observed in the contralateral and ipsilateral …
