Magnetoencephalographic studies in human revealed that the magnetic signals were seen in migraine patients but not in patients suffering from other forms of headache or normal controls. Three distinctive signal patterns; suppression of spontaneous cortical activity, slow field changes and large-amplitude waves, were observed strictly in migraine patients. In some patients with migraine, magnetic signals were also recorded between attacks. The same magnetic fields appeared during the propagation of SD in the cortex of anesthetized animals (Welch et al, 1993). A recent study strongly supports the link between SD and the aura period in human visual cortex. High-field functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to detect blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) changes during visual aura in three migraineurs. A focal increase in BOLD signals developed first in extrastriate cortex and spread at the velocity of 3.5 ± 1.1 mm/min over occipital cortex. These initial BOLD features were consistent with scintillations and paralleled by decreases in the stimulus-driven MR oscillations. Increasing in BOLD signals was followed by a decrease in the mean MR signal. This phase appeared to correspond to the localized scotoma and MR stimulus-induced response remained suppressed. Within 15±3 min, both BOLD signals and MR stimulus-induced response recovered. During periods with no visual stimulation, but while the subject was experiencing scintillations, BOLD signal followed the retinotopic progression of the visual percept. Spreading BOLD signal changes as CSD did not cross prominent sulci (Hadjikhani et al., 2001). The most common symptoms during the aura phase in migraine are visual. As mentioned, spreading oligemia and excitation wave of aura symptoms start in occipital lobe and propagate anteriorly. Altering the ionic makeup of the extracellular fluid reversibly raises or lowers the susceptibility to SD. Glial cells act as spatial buffer explicitly for potassium by taking potassium up and carrying it from regions of high concentration to neighbouring regions of low concentration. In human the lowest glial-neuronal ratio is in the primary visual cortex (Fig. 2; Gorji, 2001).
