Abstract
We report preliminary findings of a study exploring the hypothesis that migraine is the experience of a protective cerebrovascular mechanism arising in response to unilateral cerebral information overload. The necessary population to be studied, namely those with exclusive one-sided migraine, proved to be rare. The measures of cerebral hemisphere function were the verbal and non-verbal scales of Wechsler’s Adult Intelligence Scale. Preliminary results suggest that it is worthwhile continuing to explore the notion using additional and more sophisticated measures.
