Evidence obtained from clinical studies, magnetoencephalography, and 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy indicates that spreading depression is the underlying basis of migraine aura. Magnetoencephalographic and 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopic evidence also exists to explain interictal central neuronal hyperexcitability in migraine sufferers. A low intracellular brain magnesium concentration may be the link between the physiologic threshold for migraine and the attack itself.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
