Note sull'episodio
In this episode, Amanda Ellison joins me to explore the intersection of brain science and clinical practice as it relates to cluster headache. Amanda is a neuroscientist and physiologist, professor in the Psychology Department in Durham University and former Director of the Wolfson Research Institute for Health and Wellbeing, and she is interested in understanding how different brain regions communicate to create our behaviour and experience of the world around us.
Our conversation on the history of the understanding of cluster headache used the monickers that have been applied over time as fulcrum, and these included migrainous neuralgia as proposed by Wilfred Harris, and Horton’s cephalalgia. We also explored the emergence of the name cluster headache, and how this coincided with the establishment of the International Headache Society.
