Summary
Functional neuroimaging reveals a distinct "migraine brain" characterized by cortical spreading depression, brainstem involvement, and heightened sensory sensitivity. These findings reshape our understanding of migraine pathophysiology.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Neuroimaging
- Migraine Pathophysiology
Background:
- Migraine is a complex neurological disorder with significant impact.
- Understanding migraine pathophysiology has historically relied on clinical observation.
- Advances in neuroimaging offer new insights into brain function during migraine.
