THE PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF VEGETATIVE SYMPTOMS IN MIGRAINE

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Vomiting and other vegetative symptoms of migraine are stimulated by serotonin or other neurally active agents which penetrate the central nervous system through specialised brain regions, such as the area postrema, without a blood-brain barrier. These regions then generate specific symptoms such as vomiting and allow serotonin to diffuse into adjacent centres where vegetative functions are then disturbed.
