Abstract
ABSTRACT A 75-year-old man with lung cancer undertook an 18F-FDG PET/CT for staging. He presented neurological symptoms immediately after the 30-minute scan. An emergent MRI study revealed hyperacute cerebral infarction with occlusion of a left MCA branch. At PET/CT, an increased 18F-FDG uptake was observed in the corresponding areas of infarction. In literature, acceleration of compensatory anaerobic glycolysis has been proposed as 1 of the causes of increased uptake in the penumbra of acute cerebral infarction, and a similar process was hypothesized in this case. In addition, a decreased 18F-FDG uptake in the ipsilateral thalamus was noted on the PET/CT images.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Experimental animal studies have revealed mechanisms that link cortical spreading depression (CSD) to the trigeminal activation mediating lateralized headache. However, conventional CSD as seen in lissencephalic brain is insufficient to explain some clinical features of aura and migraine headache. AREAS COVERED The importance of CSD in headache development including dysfunction of the thalamocortical network, neuroinflammation, calcitonin gene-related peptide, transgenic models, and the role of CSD in migraine triggers, treatment options, neuromodulation and future directions are reviewed. EXPERT OPINION The conventional understanding of CSD marching across the hemisphere is invalid in gyrencephalic brains. Thalamocortical dysfunction and interruption of functional cortical network systems by CSD, may provide alternative explanations for clinical manifestations of migraine phases including aura. Not all drugs showing CSD blocking properties in lissencephalic brains, have efficacy in migraine headache and monoclonal antibodies against CGRP ligand/receptors which are effective in migraine treatment, have no impact on aura in humans or CSD properties in rodents. Functional networks and molecular mechanisms mediating and amplifying the effects of limited CSD in migraine brain remain to be investigated to define new targets.

Abstract
Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) after surgical clipping for cerebral aneurysm is a rare entity. The authors present a 76-year-old woman with a large left internal carotid-posterior communicating artery aneurysm. After successful clipping with temporary occlusion of the internal carotid artery, the patient exhibited motor aphasia. 15O-gas positron emission tomography (PET) showed extreme elevation of the regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) along with a mildly decreased regional cerebral metabolic rate for oxygen (rCMRO2) and a remarkable decrease in the oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) in the territory of the ipsilateral superior trunk of the middle cerebral artery. These data indicated local hyperperfusion. She had fully recovered from the aphasia by postoperative day (POD) 18. PET showed normalization of CBF on POD 27. To our knowledge, this is the first case report to show hyperperfusion syndrome, clearly detected by 15O-gas PET, after aneurysmal neck clipping.

Abstract
Migraine is a complex brain disorder and initiating events for acute attacks still remain unclear. It seems difficult to explain the development of migraine headache with one mechanism and/or a single anatomical location. Cortical spreading depression (CSD) is recognized as the biological substrate of migraine aura and experimental animal studies have provided mechanisms that possibly link CSD to the activation of trigeminal neurons mediating lateralized head pain. However, some CSD features do not match the clinical features of migraine headache and there are gaps in translating CSD to migraine with aura. Clinical features of migraine headache and results from research are critically evaluated; and consistent and inconsistent findings are discussed according to the known basic features of canonical CSD: typical SD limited to the cerebral cortex as it was originally defined. Alternatively, arguments related to the emergence of SD in other brain structures in addition to the cerebral cortex or CSD initiated dysfunction in the thalamocortical network are proposed. Accordingly, including thalamus, particularly reticular nucleus and higher order thalamic nuclei, which functions as a hub connecting the visual, somatosensory, language and motor cortical areas and subjects to modulation by brain stem projections into the CSD theory, would greatly improve our current understanding of migraine.

Abstract
Spreading depression (SD) is a transient wave of near-complete neuronal and glial depolarization associated with massive transmembrane ionic and water shifts. It is evolutionarily conserved in the central nervous systems of a wide variety of species from locust to human. The depolarization spreads slowly at a rate of only millimeters per minute by way of grey matter contiguity, irrespective of functional or vascular divisions, and lasts up to a minute in otherwise normal tissue. As such, SD is a radically different breed of electrophysiological activity compared with everyday neural activity, such as action potentials and synaptic transmission. Seventy years after its discovery by Leão, the mechanisms of SD and its profound metabolic and hemodynamic effects are still debated. What we did learn of consequence, however, is that SD plays a central role in the pathophysiology of a number of diseases including migraine, ischemic stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, and traumatic brain injury. An intriguing overlap among them is that they are all neurovascular disorders. Therefore, the interplay between neurons and vascular elements is critical for our understanding of the impact of this homeostatic breakdown in patients. The challenges of translating experimental data into human pathophysiology notwithstanding, this review provides a detailed account of bidirectional interactions between brain parenchyma and the cerebral vasculature during SD and puts this in the context of neurovascular diseases.

Abstract
Cortical spreading depression (CSD) is a depolarization wave associated with neurological disorders such as migraine, cerebral ischemia and traumatic brain injury. The mechanism of action of this phenomenon still remains unclear. Although it is suggested that extracellular K(+) accumulation contributes to CSD, other ions may play a relevant role in the mechanism of propagation of the wave. In this context, we hypothesize that Ca(2+) may play an important function in the wave propagation. Our results demonstrate that enhancing Ca(2+) influx into the cells by topical cortical application of the ionophore A23187 (10 μM, 50 μM and 100 μM solutions) increases the velocity of CSD propagation in a dose-dependent manner, and a much higher dose of this compound (2 mM) triggers CSD. In conclusion, increased Ca(2+) influx can be a key element in the induction mechanism of the CSD, and should be assessed in further experimental strategies targeting brain disorders related to CSD.

Abstract
Extensive efforts have recently been devoted to developing noninvasive imaging tools capable of delineating brain tissue viability (penumbra) during acute ischemic stroke. These efforts could have profound clinical implications for identifying patients who may benefit from tPA beyond the currently approved therapeutic time window and/or patients undergoing neuroendovascular treatments. To date, the DWI/PWI MRI and perfusion CT have received the most attention for identifying ischemic penumbra. However, their routine use in clinical settings remains limited. Preclinical and clinical PET studies with [18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (18F-FDG) have consistently revealed a decreased 18F-FDG uptake in regions of presumed ischemic core. More importantly, an elevated 18F-FDG uptake in the peri-ischemic regions has been reported, potentially reflecting viable tissues. To this end, this paper provides a comprehensive review of the literature on the utilization of 14C-2-DG and 18F-FDG-PET in experimental as well as human stroke studies. Possible cellular mechanisms and physiological underpinnings attributed to the reported temporal and spatial uptake patterns of 18F-FDG are addressed. Given the wide availability of 18F-FDG in routine clinical settings, 18F-FDG PET may serve as an alternative, non-invasive tool to MRI and CT for the management of acute stroke patients.

Abstract
Hemiplegic migraine (HM) in the setting of Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) has been previously described. Here, we report clinical and multimodal imaging data on a 21-year-old man with SWS and HM, who presented during an acute HM attack with a dense left-hemispheric syndrome (expressive aphasia and right sensorimotor hemiplegia), lasting for more than 10 days. Repeated EEGs were without evidence of status epilepticus. Consistent with previous findings in prolonged migraine aura, perfusion computed tomography demonstrated left-hemispheric hyperperfusion on day 7. 18F-FDG positron emission tomography (day 7) revealed left-hemispheric hypermetabolism. After 14 days, the patient was symptom-free and discharged home. Follow-up after 30 days showed normal neurological status. Our observation confirms and reinforces the comorbidity of SWS and HM and shows that prolonged HM attacks are associated with complex changes of both cerebral perfusion and glucose metabolism. A pathophysiological model explaining both the association between SWS/HM and the observed imaging changes is presented.

Abstract
This perspective discusses cortical spreading depression (CSD) phenomena and their translational significance for human migraine aura and the peri-infarct events following cerebral ischemia and injury. They begin with interstitial K(+) release and accumulation following neuronal stimulation, and a buffering astrocytic K(+) influx and remote liberation propagating waves of neuronal hyperexcitability and depression. Diffusion-weighted echoplanar MRI demonstrates CSD features in gyrencephalic brains recapitulating human migraine aura, spatial and temporal features of single primary events and multiple secondary events, their stimulus dependence, pharmacological properties, and their relationship to blood oxygenation level-dependent signals and late cerebrovascular changes. The article finally explores prospects for physiological studies of CSD gaining fuller insights both into mechanisms underlying the pathology of the corresponding human condition and possible approaches to management.

Abstract
Cortical spreading depression (CSD) is a pronounced depolarization of neurons and glia that spreads slowly across the cortex followed by a period of depressed electrophysiological activity. The vascular changes associated with CSD are a large transient increase in blood flow followed by a prolonged decrease lasting greater than 1 h. Currently, the profile of functional vascular activity during this hypovolemic period has not been well characterized. Perfusion-based imaging techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) assume a tight coupling between changes in neuronal and vascular activity. Under normal conditions, these variables are well correlated. Characterizing the effect of CSD on this relationship is an important step to understand the impact acute pathophysiological events may have on neurovascular coupling. We examine the effect of CSD on functional changes in cerebral blood volume (CBV) evoked by cortical electrophysiological activity for 1 h following CSD induction. CBV signal amplitude, duration, and time to peak show little recovery at 60 min post-induction. Analysis of spontaneous vasomotor activity suggests a decrease in vascular reactivity may play a significant role in the disruption of normal functional CBV responses. Electrophysiological activity is also attenuated but to a lesser degree. CBV and evoked potentials are not well correlated following CSD, suggesting a breakdown of the neurovascular coupling relationship.

Abstract
An application of independent component analysis to blood oxygenation level- dependent MRI (BOLD-MRI) results was used to detect cerebrovascular changes that followed the initiation of cortical spreading depression (CSD) in feline brain. The cortical images were obtained from a horizontal plane at 28 s intervals before, and for 1.4-1.75 h after, KCl dissolved in agar (KCl/agar) had been directly applied to the left suprasylvian gyrus of 13 anesthetized cats for 10 min. It successfully resolved, for the first time, a novel class of prolonged, and delayed, biphasic BOLD waveforms. These were larger in amplitude ( approximately 20%), longer lasting and more delayed in onset (13-33 min) than the brief propagating (90 s) BOLD increase ( approximately 4%) already known to be associated with CSD on earlier occasions. Furthermore, such changes occurred in localized regions on the hemisphere ipsilateral to the site of stimulus application in 4 out of 5 control subjects rather than themselves generating propagating waves. Finally, the biphasic waveforms were consistently abolished in the 4 experimental animals studied following the i.v. administration of sumatriptan (0.3 mg kg(-1)), an antimigraine 5-HT(1B/1D) agonist, 15 min before the application of the transient stimulus. They were abolished in 2 out of 4 animals following the intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of SB-220453 (tonabersat: 10 mg kg(-1), 90 min before stimulus application), a novel anticonvulsant that has recently been reported to inhibit CSD. ICA has thus been successful in detecting a novel localized, as opposed to propagating, signal of potential physiological significance hidden in complex BOLD- MRI data, whose sensitivity to sumatriptan may relate it to the cerebrovascular changes reported in the headache phase of migraine.

Abstract
The authors previously provided evidence that spreading depression (SD) can be evoked in primates. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression has been found to increase in the rodent cortex undergoing SD, and the authors sought to determine whether this association exists in primate brain. In the present study, neuronal COX-2 expression was induced during SD in the primate cortex. The mean expression ratio of COX-2 messenger RNA in animals with SD was significantly higher than that measured in controls (1.69 vs. 0.5; P = 0.02). Induction of COX-2 in these animals was also detected by human microarray analysis. Results show that, as in rodents, neuronal COX-2 is induced in the primate cortex in response to SD.

Abstract
Cortical spreading depression (CSD) was induced by transient (10 min) applications of KCl in agar upon the cortical surface of alpha-chloralose anaesthetised cats. Its features were compared with CSD resulting from sustained applications of crystalline KCl through a mapping of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) using diffusion-weighted echo planar imaging (DWI) over a poststimulus period of 60-100 min. Individual CSD events were computationally detected with the aid of Savitzky-Golay smoothing applied to critically sampled data derived from regions of interest (ROIs) made up of 2 x 2 pixel matrices. The latter were consistently placed at three selected sites on the suprasylvian gyrus (SG) and six sites on the marginal gyrus (MG). The CSD events thus detected were then quantitatively characterised for each ROI using the original time series. Both stimuli consistently elicited similar spreading patterns of initial, primary CSD events that propagated over the SG and marginal MG and were restricted to the hemispheres on which the stimuli were applied. There followed secondary events over smaller extents of cortical surface. Sustained stimuli elicited primary and secondary CSD events with similar amplitudes of ADC deflection that were distributed around a single mean. The ADC deflections were also conserved in peak amplitude throughout the course of their propagation. The initial primary event showed a poststimulus latency of 1.1 +/- 0.1 min. Successive secondary events followed at longer, but uniform, time intervals of around 10 min. Primary and secondary CSDs showed significantly different velocities of conduction (3.32 +/- 0.43 mm min(-1) vs. 2.11 +/- 0.21 mm min(-1), respectively; n = 5) across the cerebral hemisphere. In contrast, transient stimuli produced significantly fewer numbers of CSD events (3.8 +/- 0.5 events per animal, n = 5) than did sustained stimuli (7.4 +/- 0.5 events per animal, mean +/- S.E.M., n = 5, P = 0.002). The peak ADC deflection of their primary CSD events declined by approximately 30 % as they propagated from their initiation site to the interhemispheric boundary. The primary CSD event following a transient stimulus showed a latency of 1.4 +/- 0.1 min. It was followed by successive and smaller secondary ADC deflections that were separated by progressively longer time intervals. Conduction velocities of secondary events were similar to those of primary events. Conduction velocities of both primary and secondary events were slower than their counterparts following a sustained stimulus. ADC changes associated with CSD thus persist at times well after stimulus withdrawal and vary markedly with the nature of the initiating stimulus even in brain regions remote from the stimulus site.

Abstract
Spreading depression (SD) is considered to play a role in pathologic conditions of humans such as in the evolution of ischemic brain injury and migraine aura. Because many studies have demonstrated spreading hypoperfusion in patients with migraine and persistent hypoperfusion in nonprimate animal models of SD, these changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF) were regarded as an epiphenomenon of SD. However, there is no direct evidence of the occurrence of SD in primates. The authors attempted to elicit SD by applying 3.3 mol/L potassium chloride to the cerebral cortex of nine male cynomolgus monkeys. The CBF was monitored by positron emission tomography in five animals. Propagated direct-current shifts were found by the two neighboring microelectrodes only in one animal. The direct-current wave propagated at a speed of 4 mm/min and its amplitude was 20 mV, being consistent with the SD findings. Except in one animal with 6 SD episodes, SD waves were recorded infrequently at the rostral site (none in three animals, once in three, and twice in two). Focal hyperemia accompanied SD. Neither spreading hypoperfusion nor persistent hypoperfusion was found. These unique features of SD in primates raise a doubt as to whether the role of SD in nonprimate animals is the same as that in stroke and migraine in humans.

Abstract
The possibility that spreading depression (SD) of cortical activity, a phenomenon observed in all vertebrates, causes the aura of migraine remains an open question in spite of nearly half a century of investigation. SD is also thought to be associated with the progressive neuronal injury observed during cerebral ischaemia. Thus, the ability to detect and investigate SD in humans might prove clinically significant. Animal studies of cortical spreading depression (CSD) have benefited greatly from the advent of relatively non-invasive imaging techniques. The use of these new imaging techniques for clinical studies will accelerate progress in this area of neurobiology.

Abstract
The authors recently developed a primate thromboembolic stroke model. To characterize the primate model, the authors determined serial changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF) and the relation between CBF and cerebral metabolic rate of glucose (CMRglc) using high-resolution positron emission tomography. Thromboembolic stroke was produced in male cynomolgus monkeys (n = 4). Acute obstruction of the left middle cerebral artery was achieved by injecting an autologous blood clot into the left internal carotid artery. Cerebral blood flow was measured with [15O]H2O before and 1, 2, 4, 6, and 24 hours after embolization. CMRglc was measured with 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose ([18F]FDG) 24 hours after embolization. Lesion size and location 24 hours after embolization was determined by the 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining method. The results are summarized as follows: (1) 1 hour after embolization, CBF in the temporal cortex and the basal ganglia decreased to < 40% of the contralateral values. In these regions, regarded as an ischemic core, CBF decreased further with time and CMRglc at 24 hours also decreased. Infarcted lesions as indicated by being unstained with TTC were consistently observed in these regions. (2) In the parietal cortex and several regions surrounding the ischemic core, CBF was > 40% of the contralateral values 1 hour after embolization and recovered gradually with time (ischemic penumbra). In these regions, CMRglc at 24 hours increased compared with that in the contralateral regions, indicating an uncoupling of CBF and CMRglc. No obvious TTC-unstained lesions were detected in these regions. The authors demonstrated a gradual recovery of reduced CBF, an elevated CMRglc and a CBF-CMRglc uncoupling in the penumbra regions of the primate model. Positron emission tomography investigations using this model will provide better understanding of the pathophysiology of thromboembolic stroke in humans.
