Brain imaging techniques that use vascular signals to map changes in neuronal activity rely on the coupling between electrophysiology and hemodynamics, a phenomenon referred as “neurovascular coupling” (NVC). It is unknown whether this relationship remains reliable under altered brain states associated with acetylcholine (ACh) levels, such attention arousal pathological conditions Alzheimer's disease. We therefore assessed effects of varying ACh tone whisker-evoked NVC responses rat barrel...
Abstract Objective To evaluate changes in interictal burden with galcanezumab versus placebo patients episodic (EM) or chronic migraine (CM). Background The disruptive effects of occur both during attacks (ictal period) and between (interictal period), affecting work, school, family, social life. Migraine clinical trials typically assess ictal endpoints, neglecting burden. Methods CONQUER was a 3‐month, double‐blind study that randomized adult EM CM who had experienced failure two to four...
Activation of the basal forebrain (BF), primary source acetylcholine (ACh) in cortex, broadly increases cortical cerebral blood flow (CBF), a response downstream to ACh release. Although endothelial nitric oxide and cholinoceptive GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) interneurons have been implicated, little is known about role pyramidal cells this their possible interaction with astrocytes. Using c-Fos immunohistochemistry as marker neuronal activation laser-Doppler flowmetry, we measured changes CBF...
ABSTRACT Objective: We have updated the migraine prevention guideline of Canadian Headache Society from 2012, as there are new therapies available, and additionally, we provided guidelines for chronic migraine, which was not addressed in previous iteration. Methods: undertook a systematic review to identify studies since last guideline. For identified, performed data extraction subsequent meta-analyses where possible. composed summary evidence found modified Delphi recommendation process....
Migraine significantly impacts individuals from all walks of life and around the globe. Chronic or high-frequency episodic migraine has similar disability burden on healthcare system can be challenging to manage. The focus this article is provide an outline available pharmacological nonpharmacological evidence-based strategies that clinicians employ build a "toolbox" for their patients.
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are a risk factor for progression from episodic to chronic migraine. Risk factors medication overuse headache (MOH) incompletely understood, but opioid may carry higher than of other types. We performed retrospective chart review investigating the frequency and impact ACEs in patients with MOH. Of 68 included patients, 37 (54.4%) reported ACEs. There was no significant inter-group difference baseline migraine disability assessment (MIDAS) or monthly days....

Objective: We sought to identify clinical or surgical characteristics predicting response deep brain stimulation (DBS) for tremor, hypothesizing that medication and/or alcohol responsiveness might correlate with good outcome. Background: Tremor is a common and disabling feature of many disorders. Medical therapy tremor often ineffective, factors DBS are poorly characterized. We examined patients obtaining the most benefit from DBS. Methods: performed retrospective chart review all who...
