Geometry Shapes Propagation: Assessing the Presence and Absence of Cortical Symmetries through a Computational Model of Cortical Spreading Depression.

Authors:
Julia M Kroos Ibai Diez Jesus M Cortes Sebastiano Stramaglia Luca Gerardo-Giorda

Cortical spreading depression (CSD), a depolarization wave which originates in the visual cortex and travels toward the frontal lobe, has been suggested to be one neural correlate of aura migraine. To the date, little is known about the mechanisms which can trigger or stop aura migraine. Here, to shed some light on this problem and, under the hypothesis that CSD might mediate aura migraine, we aim to study different aspects favoring or disfavoring the propagation of CSD. In particular, by using a computational neuronal model distributed throughout a realistic cortical mesh, we study the role that the geometry has in shaping CSD. Our results are two-fold: first, we found significant differences in the propagation traveling patterns of CSD, both intra and inter-hemispherically, revealing important asymmetries in the propagation profile. Second, we developed methods able to identify brain regions featuring a peculiar behavior during CSD propagation. Our study reveals dynamical aspects of CSD, which, if applied to subject-specific cortical geometry, might shed some light on how to differentiate between healthy subjects and those suffering migraine.

White Matter Lesions in Migraine.

Authors:
Katharina Eikermann-Haerter Susie Y Huang

Am J Pathol 2021 Feb 24. Epub 2021 Feb 24.

Migraine, the third most common disease worldwide, is a well-known independent risk factor for subclinical focal deep white matter lesions (WML), even in young and otherwise individuals without cardiovascular risk factors. These white matter lesions are more commonly seen in migraine patients with transient neurological symptoms preceding their headaches, the so-called aura, and those with a high attack frequency. Despite their prevalence, the pathophysiology of migraine-related deep white matter hyperintensities remains poorly understood. Read More

Migraines are a common form of primary headache, affecting women more than men (17.4% and 5.7% of US population, respectively, a total of 12%) that carry significant morbidity and disability, as well as a hefty healthcare price tag. Read More

Mitochondrial function and oxidative stress markers in higher-frequency episodic migraine.

Authors:
Elena C Gross Niveditha Putananickal Anna-Lena Orsini Deborah R Vogt Peter S Sandor Jean Schoenen Dirk Fischer

Sci Rep 2021 Feb 25;11(1):4543. Epub 2021 Feb 25.

Division of Paediatric Neurology, University Children's Hospital Basel (UKBB), University of Basel, Basel, Switzerland.

Increasing evidence points towards the role of mitochondrial functioning, energy metabolism, and oxidative stress in migraine. However not all previous research has been conclusive and some mitochondrial function/oxidative stress markers have not yet been examined. To this end, alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), total thiols, total plasma antioxidant capacity (TAC), lipid peroxide (PerOx), oxidised LDL (oxLDL), HbA1c and lactate were determined in the serum of 32 higher frequency episodic migraineurs (5-14 migraine days/ months, 19 with aura, 28 females) in this cross-sectional study.

Brain glycogen metabolism: A possible link between sleep disturbances, headache and depression.

Authors:
J-M Petit E Eren-Koçak H Karatas P Magistretti T Dalkara

Sleep Med Rev 2021 Jan 29;59:101449. Epub 2021 Jan 29.

Hacettepe University, Institute of Neurological Sciences and Psychiatry, Ankara, Turkey. Electronic address:

The functions of sleep and its links with neuropsychiatric diseases have long been questioned. Among the numerous hypotheses on sleep function, early studies proposed that sleep helps to replenish glycogen stores consumed during waking. Later studies found increased brain glycogen after sleep deprivation, leading to "glycogenetic" hypothesis, which states that there is a parallel increase in synthesis and utilization of glycogen during wakefulness, whereas decrease in the excitatory transmission creates an imbalance causing accumulation of glycogen during sleep.
