Itchy Brain

Pain and itch have very different behavioral response patterns. Pain evokes a withdrawal reflex, which leads to retraction and therefore a reaction trying to protect an endangered part of the body. Itch in contrast creates a scratch reflex, which draws one to the affected skin site. Itch generates stimulus of a foreign object underneath or upon the skin and also the urge to remove it. For example, responding to a local itch sensation is an effective way to remove insects from one's skin.

And our itching joke:  

When Juan told me he was scratching himself during a questionnaire, I was surprised.
After all, nobody expects the Spanish in-quiz itching.


I found this carousel in Sacramento at the Galleria Mall across the street.  Isn't this amazing with its turquoise walls and light above?  And what about the cat that has caught a red herring!
