Answers: What causes migraines and what happens in the brain during a migraine?
- migraine symptoms
- hypothalamus role in migraine
- migraine aura mechanism
- trigeminal nerve pain pathway
- migraine genetics and triggers
What it concludes
- Migraine warning signs point to the hypothalamus, which controls internal hormonal balances, circadian rhythms, and water regulation.
- During a migraine, the trigeminal nerve pain pathway becomes sensitized, lowering the threshold for provoking pain from coughing, bending over, or sensory stimuli.
- Migraines affect 33% of women and 13% of men in their lifetimes.
- Genetics play a role in migraines by controlling how easily brain neurons are excited by environmental stimuli and how readily they transmit painful signals.
- Doctors have identified 150 types of headaches, each with different causes, symptoms, and treatments.
