Migraine Aura A Knockin Mouse with a Knockout Message
نویسنده
چکیده
Migraine aura is a sometimes disabling disorder of the brain that involves significant neurological symptoms in about 30% of patients. In this issue of Neuron, van den Maagdenberg et al. characterize a mouse with a knockin mutation known to cause familial hemiplegic migraine and provide evidence that a lowered threshold to the triggering of CSD may account for the devastating phenotype of familial hemiplegic migraine.

A Cacna1a Knockin Migraine Mouse Model with Increased Susceptibility to Cortical Spreading Depression
Migraine is a common, disabling, multifactorial, episodic neurovascular disorder of unknown etiology. Familial hemiplegic migraine type 1 (FHM-1) is a Mendelian subtype of migraine with aura that is caused by missense mutations in the CACNA1A gene that encodes the alpha(1) subunit of neuronal Ca(v)2.1 Ca(2+) channels. We generated a knockin mouse model carrying the human pure FHM-1 R192Q mutati...
متن کاملDefective glutamate and K+ clearance by cortical astrocytes in familial hemiplegic migraine type 2
Migraine is a common disabling brain disorder. A subtype of migraine with aura (familial hemiplegic migraine type 2: FHM2) is caused by loss-of-function mutations in α2 Na(+),K(+) ATPase (α2 NKA), an isoform almost exclusively expressed in astrocytes in adult brain. Cortical spreading depression (CSD), the phenomenon that underlies migraine aura and activates migraine headache mechanisms, is fa...
متن کاملEnhanced Excitatory Transmission at Cortical Synapses as the Basis for Facilitated Spreading Depression in CaV2.1 Knockin Migraine Mice
Migraine is a common disabling brain disorder. A subtype of migraine with aura (familial hemiplegic migraine type 1: FHM1) is caused by mutations in Ca(V)2.1 (P/Q-type) Ca(2+) channels. Knockin mice carrying a FHM1 mutation show increased neuronal P/Q-type current and facilitation of induction and propagation of cortical spreading depression (CSD), the phenomenon that underlies migraine aura an...
متن کاملCerebral hypercapnia-induced vasomotor reactivity in migraine with and without aura: a case-control study
Abstract Background: Dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system has long been a subject of considerable debate and a large number of studies have disclosed contradictory results. The aim of this study was to compare cerebral vasomotor reactivity in migraine with aura (MWA) patients with migraine without aura (MWO) ones. Methods: Ten MWA patients (7 females and 3 males mean age: 39.70 years, S...
متن کاملMechanism underlying unaltered cortical inhibitory synaptic transmission in contrast with enhanced excitatory transmission in CaV2.1 knockin migraine mice
Familial hemiplegic migraine type 1 (FHM1), a monogenic subtype of migraine with aura, is caused by gain-of-function mutations in CaV2.1 (P/Q-type) calcium channels. In FHM1 knockin mice, excitatory neurotransmission at cortical pyramidal cell synapses is enhanced, but inhibitory neurotransmission at connected pairs of fast-spiking (FS) interneurons and pyramidal cells is unaltered, despite bei...
