Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Despite numerous studies in this area, the impact of migraines on cognition remains undetermined. Most evidence points toward somewhat impaired cognitive abilities, particularly in relation to the disease burden. However, a few studies have suggested that the condition plays a protective role with respect to brain aging and some have described an advantage compared to healthy controls in terms of cognitive functions that are more strictly dependent on glutamate neurotransmission, like learning.
This Special Issue aims to present the latest research detailing the associations between impaired or favored cognitive abilities with the occurrence of migraines and the effects of drugs on cognitive performance. Moreover, we are interested in neuroimaging and neurophysiological correlates of different cognitive profiles in migraines. Finally, cutting-edge research involving the use of neurostimulation techniques (i.e., tDCS) to improve cognitive performance in migraines will be included.
