Reasoning chain linking external stimuli to neural activity patterns in brain

This chain synthesizes evidence and reasoning connecting the delivery of itch and pain stimuli (histamine, capsaicin, electrical) to distinct and measurable neural activity patterns in rodent and human brain, considering functional imaging studies and distinct neural circuitry for pain and itch.
