Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Neurology
  • Brain Physiology

Background:

  • Cortical spreading depression (CSD) is a wave of neuronal and glial depolarization.
  • CSD is implicated in migraine pathophysiology and involves ion homeostasis failure and altered brain metabolism.
  • Existing research heavily relies on animal models, necessitating human-specific detection methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the challenges and strategies for detecting CSD in humans.
  • To bridge the gap between animal research findings and human brain disease applications.
  • To leverage two decades of CSD research experience in clinical neurological diseases.

Main Methods:

  • Review of experience in detecting CSD in human subjects.
  • Analysis of pitfalls encountered in CSD detection.
  • Exploration of potential strategies for reliable human CSD detection.

Main Results:

  • Detection of CSD in humans presents significant challenges.
  • Specific pitfalls in human CSD detection were identified.
  • Potential strategies for improving CSD detection in humans were proposed.

Conclusions:

  • Reliable detection of CSD in humans is essential for translating animal findings to clinical practice.
  • Improved human detection methods will advance the understanding and treatment of CSD-related human brain diseases, including migraine.
  • Further research into human CSD detection is warranted.
