Thalamic Function and Vestibular Migraine

Investigators at Universities of Naples and Salerno, Italy; and Maastricht University, the Netherlands, explored the functional response of vestibular neural pathways using whole-brain blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) fMRI during caloric vestibular stimulation in 12 patients (mean age 31.2 +/- 5 yrs) with vestibular migraine (VM), in 12 healthy controls, and in a group of age- and sex-matched patients with migraine without aura (MwoA)
