The Anatomy of a Migraine

Abstract

Migraine is a pain combined with other symptoms. Does it have an anatomy? Actually no, it does not since combination of symptoms have no anatomy only the cause of migraine does. The locations of the cause of migraines matter because the type of symptom associated with a particular migraine depends greatly on where the underlying brain disturbance location is. Because migraine is a combination of many symptoms, we need to look at different terminology that helps us unravel the cause of migraine and then we can find the anatomy based on the location of the cause.
