Neurobiological Basis of Migraine (New York Academy of Sciences) ()

by Turgay Dalkara (Editor),‎ Michael A. Moskowitz (Editor)

Are you or someone you know one of the millions of people worldwide who suffer from migraines? If so, you’ll want to pick up a copy of the book, “Neurobiological Basis of Migraine,” edited by Turgay Dalkara and Michael A. Moskowitz, and published with the New York Academy of Sciences.

Migraines can be debilitating, causing severe pain, nausea, and visual impairment. According to the World Health Organization, migraines are a significant public health issue, ranking in the top twenty most disabling illnesses. This book provides a timely and broad-ranging exploration of the neurobiological basis and molecular mechanisms of this condition, translating important research findings from around the globe into novel treatment strategies that are currently being investigated.

The book features edited contributions from distinguished experts in the field, taking a focused, yet wide-ranging approach to the subject. It begins by exploring the pathways and networks mediating migraine headaches, their underlying physiological mechanisms, characteristics of visceral pain, and the concept of dural neurogenic inflammation. From there, the authors delve into the mechanisms sustaining the head pain and photophobia associated with migraines, and they review the pharmacology of newly discovered migraine treatments. These basic chapters are followed by clinical and genetic studies linking to key issues, including cortical spreading depression, ion channels, transporters, and epilepsy.

One of the most exciting aspects of this book is that it discusses recent developments in migraine mutations and their role in cortical spreading depression (CSD), as well as the role of CSD in aura and trigeminal activation. This information is essential for researchers and clinicians interested in migraine headaches, as it provides a deeper understanding of the primary mechanisms of the condition from migraine modeling to clinical applications.

This book would be an indispensable working resource for clinicians and migraine, headache, and pain researchers, including neurobiologists, neuropharmacologists, neurologists, and vascular neurobiologists, as well as graduate students in those fields who are involved in researching migraine headaches.

The book is part of the prestigious New York Academy of Sciences series, and the eBook has 408 pages. It was published by Wiley-Blackwell on August 7, 2017, in English. The ISBN-10 is 1118967194, and the ISBN-13 is 978-1118967195. The product dimensions are 7 x 1 x 9.5 inches.

In summary, “Neurobiological Basis of Migraine” is a must-read for anyone interested in migraines. It provides a comprehensive and authoritative overview of the latest advances in our understanding of the neurobiological basis of migraine, and how these findings are being translated into novel treatments and prevention strategies. Don’t let migraines hold you or your loved ones back – order this book today and take the first step toward a better understanding of this debilitating condition.
