Abnormal brain activity in migraineurs is not restricted to attacks

"Typically, migraine is considered to be an episodic disorder with discrete attacks of headache. But new research by Dr. Till Sprenger and his team from UCSF Headache Group and Technische Universität München found increased network activity -- stronger functional connectivity -- bilaterally in the visual, auditory and sensorimotor network in migraineurs."

This research sounds very exciting. I know many people who suffer with migraine of one sort or another. I sometimes get bad attacks of headache and these I assumed were triggered by certain social and environmental conditions e.g. second hand smoking, any kind of smoke from burning, dust, heat, certain types of lighting and bad diet. Perhaps this research can shed light on why migraine is so bad and sometimes unpredictable.
