Headache. 2008 May;48(5):704-6. doi: 10.1111/j.1526-4610.2008.01101.x.

Abstract

Over the past two decades, the development of new functional neuroimaging techniques has improved our understanding of the brain events underlying several primary headache disorders. In migraine and cluster headache, the advent of these techniques has shifted the emphasis in pathophysiological research away from the vessel and back to the brain.
