Abstract
The article presents a study that assesses biochemical changes in the brain of patients with hemiplegic migraine in between attacks. The study included eighteen patients with hemiplegic migraine of whom eight had a known familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) mutation. It reveals a decreased cerebellar tNAA/tCre ratio that might serve as an early biomarker for neuronal dysfunction and/or loss.
