| Abstract |
Migraine aura consists of fully reversible focal neurologic symptoms that may precede or coexist with headache in a significant minority of migraine patients. Typical aura symptoms include visual, sensory, and language disturbances. The most recent International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd edition (beta version) has added other aura types such as brainstem localizing symptoms, lateralizing weakness, and monocular visual loss. Currently available data from animal models and functional neuroimaging in humans implicate cortical spreading depression (CSD) as the phenomenon underlying migraine aura. Ongoing study suggests that susceptibility to migraine aura and CSD may be genetically mediated. CSD appears to be a potential target for future development of migraine-specific preventive therapies. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 08 June 2017.
All research outputs
#6,358,069
of 22,763,032 outputs
Outputs from Current Pain and Headache Reports
#274
of 799 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#66,547
of 249,649 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Pain and Headache Reports
#6
of 16 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,763,032 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 71st percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 799 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.9. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 65% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 249,649 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 16 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 62% of its contemporaries.
