Ascending Itch Pathways

Ascending Itch Pathways is a neuroanatomical construct denoting the singular pathway by which pruriceptive signals are transmitted from peripheral nociceptors through the spinal cord to higher central nervous system regions, distinguished from parallel somatosensory pathways by its specificity to itch sensation and modulation.
