A Migraine Alters Your Brain

If you’ve ever been on your way to work when a migraine hits, or had to call in sick because you cannot cope with the pain or nausea, you’ll be glad to see new advances in migraine research.

The
Public Library of Science reported that people who experience migraines, also experience brain changes. Researchers at the Harvard Medical School discovered two thicker areas in brain cortex within brains of people who get migraines, compared to those who do not.

These two areas help the brain to sort out signals related to movement.

Observed by magnetic resonance, 24 migraine sufferers showed no differences in the cortical thickness in motion-related areas between people with migraines,  who reported an aura  or illusions such as blind spots, and those who reported none.  

Interestingly, the area of cortical thickening came from the same source of
cortical spreading depression.

In addition to observing structural differences in the brains of people with migraine, researchers found the position of the changes could help to explain why some people with migraine have problems with visual processing even in between attacks.

This new study is the beginning of what could help many who suffer migraines and could be a relief to others who feel helpless when these headaches attack. Check back to Brain Based Business for an update on this one.
