Its relatively ste reotypical clinical presentation makes it a prime candidates for resea rch; this concentrated attention has resulted in significant advances in our understanding of the neurological pathways involved and the tre atment options available. The contributing authors are all internation al experts in the field.

The authors of the first edition worked together again to revise data for the second edition of this popular volume. Based at three of the world's leading centers for the study and treatment of headache, these experts share their insights on every aspect of this common and irritating condition.

Of particular focus is how imaging is changing the way we understand migraine. This includes changes in function, structure and chemistry of the migraine brain. Included are sections that focus on particular aspects of migraine, for example...
