The scratch reflex is a response to activation of sensory neurons whose peripheral terminals are located on the surface of the body.〔Stein, P. S. G. (1983). THE VERTEBRATE SCRATCH REFLEX. Symposia of the Society for Experimental Biology(37), 383-403〕 Some sensory neurons can be activated by stimulation with an external object such as a parasite on the body surface. Alternatively, some sensory neurons can respond to a chemical stimulus that produces an itch sensation. During a scratch reflex, a nearby limb reaches toward and rubs against the site on the body surface that has been stimulated. The scratch reflex has been extensively studied to understand the functioning of neural networks in vertebrates.〔Stein, P. (2005). Neuronal control of turtle hindlimb motor rhythms. Journal of Comparative Physiology A Neuroethology Sensory Neural Behavioral Physiology 191: 213-229〕 Despite decades of research, key aspects of the scratch reflex are still unknown, such as the neural mechanisms by which the reflex is terminated. This article will focus on the neurological aspects of the reflex. == Model systems and tools==
