Physicians used to treat migraines with medicine to constrict blood vessels because of the belief that dilated blood vessels were the cause The new research has been enhanced by imaging devices that allow scientists to watch patients' brains during an attack The results show that sufferers have abnormally excitable neurons, or brain nerve cells Prior to the attack, the neurons suddenly fire off electrical pulses at the back of the brain, which ripple like waves on a lake after a stone hits the water They ripple across the top and then the back of the brain, ultimately affecting the brain stem where the pain centers are located The pain then generates possibly from the brain stem itself or from blood D H oc 01 vessels inflamed by the rapidly changing blood flow, or perhaps from both Scientists have experimented by applying a powerful magnet to stimulate the neurons and discovered that some people's brains react differently than others' When stimulation was applied nT hi to the brains of people who had suffered migraines, they saw the initial aura, and some actually uO suffered migraines When the same stimulation was applied to the brains of people who had never iL ie suffered migraines, they realized no effect and the neurons showed no change s/ Ta Scientists and doctors continue to work on the research in an attempt to find the perfect up treatment It is considered important to treat migraines because it is believed that prolonged om /g ro untreated attacks could cause physical changes in the brain leading to chronic pain bo ok A is just a strong headache .c 26 The author implies that a migraine fa ce B can be treated with regular aspirin w w w C is caused by the same things that cause a headache D has a specific scientific cause, unlike a headache 27 The word it in paragraph refers to A pain B migraine C person D suffering 28 The prior treatment for migraines included medicine that A eliminated any pain B tightened blood vessels >> Truy cập trang http://tuyensinh247.com/ để luyện thi THPT QG Toán – Lý – Hóa – Sinh – Văn – Anh tốt nhất!
