Abstract excerpt
Migraine with aura is often the first manifestation of cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy syndrome (CADASIL), a disorder caused by NOTCH3 gene mutations expressed predominantly in vascular smooth muscle. Here, we report that cortical spreading depression (CSD), the electrophysiological substrate of migraine aura, is enhanced in mice expressing a vascular...
