Question: Lindsey V has an unbelievable itch on her back right now. She keeps trying to scratch it, but she's never able to get the right spot. What a nightmare! She's a curious person, and so she comes to you--her go-to human physiologist--to learn why she can never scratch that itch

You tell her that one reason it might be hard to scratch the right spot is:

[Choose ]
She's probably just overheating since nociceptors and thermoreceptors synapse on the same interneurons
Afferent neurons on the back have lower acuity due to their larger receptive fields
Itchiness stimuli in one afferent neuron for her back trigger action potentials in others
YES
Itchiness stimuli in one afferent neuron for her back inhibit action potentials in other
