[Cortical spreading depression and molecular genetics in migraine].
Cortical spreading depression (CSD) is a slowly propagated wave of depolarization of neurons and glial cells, followed by a subsequent sustained suppression of spontaneous neuronal activity. Functional imaging studies of migraine patients have shown dramatic changes in blood flow and brain activity whose characteristics are similar to those of CSD, implicated in migraine visual aura. Although t...
متن کاملP141: The Role of Microglia in Cortical Spreading Depression in Migraine
Migraine is a disorder that afflicts nearly one tenth of the population. Involving both nervous and vascular system, it has been found as a prominent factor of disability. The migraine attacks may be initiated in the brainstem or may begin peripherally in the meninges while the role of cortical activation preceding an attack is also debated. Although available treatments, more studies on migrai...
متن کاملAre cortical spreading depression and headache in migraine causally linked?
During the past few decades, much controversy has surrounded the pathophysiology of migraine. Cortical spreading depression (CSD) is widely accepted as the neuronal process underlying visual auras. It has been proposed that CSD can also cause the headaches, at least in migraine with aura. We describe three patients, each fulfilling the International Headache Society criteria for migraine with a...
متن کاملCortical spreading depression and migraine: new insights from imaging?
The possibility that spreading depression (SD) of cortical activity, a phenomenon observed in all vertebrates, causes the aura of migraine remains an open question in spite of nearly half a century of investigation. SD is also thought to be associated with the progressive neuronal injury observed during cerebral ischaemia. Thus, the ability to detect and investigate SD in humans might prove cli...
متن کاملCortical spreading depression in migraine-time to reconsider?
New evidence concerning the pathophysiology of migraine has come from the results of therapeutic transcranial magnetic stimulation (tTMS). The instantaneous responses to single pulses applied during the aura or headache phase, together with a number of other observations, make it unlikely that cortical spreading depression is involved in migraine. tTMS is considered to act by abolishing abnorma...
