Funding success for research into itch

Dr Henning Holle and Dr Emmanuele Tidoni have been successful in obtaining funding from the Experimental Psychology Society to support their research on itch. The funds will be used to support a student research assistant who will be trained up in the use of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation.
