Characteristics of cortical spreading depression and c-Fos expression in transgenic mice having a mutation associated with familial hemiplegic migraine 2.
Abstract
Cortical spreading depression is thought to be the underlying mechanism of migraine aura. In 2006, three relatives having the point mutation E700K in exon 15 were diagnosed with familial hemiplegic migraine 2 characterized by complicated forms of aura. Here, we generated a transgenic mouse model having the human E700K mutation in the orthologous gene.
