Brain regions involved in underlying mechanisms of migraine and reported alterations. Modulation of incoming noxious inputs: spinal trigeminal nucleus (SpV), periaqueductal gray matter (PAG), rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) and dorsal pons. Higher order processing: hypothalamus, thalamus, anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), insula and primary somatosensory cortex (S1).
