The spreading depression: experimental model for migraine auras.
10% of the population
suffers from migraines. We have used chicken eyes (or more precisely
just the eye cup, containing the retina) to generate slow propagating
waves, visible with the naked eye, called "spreading depression" waves.
Then we developed two models to try and make sense out of the
experiments.
