Summary: This review summarizes nonpharmacological techniques for modulating cortical spreading depolarization (CSD), presents their mechanisms of action, and provides insight into future directions. Both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic interventions can mitigate the pathological impact of CSDs via shared molecular mechanisms, and nonpharmacologic interventions can also target unique mechanisms, which may have broader effects.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of sex, gonadectomy, and female hormone supplementation and withdrawal on the susceptibility to cortical spreading depression (CSD). The results showed that female rats had a higher CSD frequency than males and ovariectomized rats. Estrogen withdrawal after prolonged treatment significantly increased CSD susceptibility in gonadectomized females. These findings have implications for estrogen-withdrawal migraine.

Summary: This study explored the links between neurovascular coupling and cortical craniofacial nociceptive activities modulated by spreading depolarization (SD). The findings suggest that SD triggers strong physiological and electrophysiological responses in S1, providing a useful preclinical tool for deciphering central sensitization mechanisms involved in migraine attacks.

Summary: The research reveals a novel mechanism of migraine pathogenesis in which TRPA1 transmits signaling to SFKs via PKA, facilitating CSD susceptibility and sensitization of the trigeminovascular system.

Summary: The study found that peripherally applied BoNT-A can shorten the period of spontaneous cortical activity depression following CSD, but does not prevent induction or propagation of CSD. It also found that cleaved SNAP25, a tool for determining the anatomical targeting of BoNT-A treatment, can be readily detected at injection sites and intracranial nerve fibers, but not within cortical areas affected by CSD.

Summary: Migraine is a debilitating neurovascular disorder characterized by recurrent headache attacks. Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) plays a crucial role in migraine pathogenesis. In a CSD-based mouse migraine model, CSD did not significantly change the density of CGRP mRNA-synthesizing neurons in the trigeminal ganglion (TG), but it did cause an increase in cell sizes of CGRP mRNA-synthesizing TG neurons. The findings suggest that the increase in cell size may contribute to increased disease activity and reduced responsiveness to CGRP-based therapy.

Summary: This study compared the effects of non-stroke depolarizations that impair cortical experience-dependent plasticity to the effects of stroke. It found that induced SDs and PiDs depolarization did not directly influence experience-dependent plasticity cortical map reorganization.

Summary: This study investigated the mechanisms of cortical spreading depression (CSD) initiation by applying high KCl puffs in mouse cerebral cortex slices. The results showed that the initiation of CSD requires the combined action of NMDARs and Ca-V channels, and is not determined by extracellular K+ concentration or neuronal depolarization levels.

Summary: The study demonstrates that low-intensity pulsed ultrasound stimulation (PUS) significantly inhibits cortical spreading depression (CSD) in rats by improving motor activity, reducing CSD propagation speed, and increasing levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor protein in brain tissue. These findings suggest that PUS has the potential to be a treatment for brain disorders associated with CSD.

Summary: Sea urchin larvae utilize light to regulate digestive tract activity through the light>Opsin>serotonin>nitric oxide pathway, suggesting a conserved mechanism in Ambulacraria evolution and a potential role of brain neurons in regulating gut function in deuterostome evolution.

Summary: Research has found that in acute brain injuries, CSD can cause vasoconstriction and ischemia, with its effects worsening with repeated CSD occurrences. This feedback loop may explain the variable but potentially devastating effects of CSD in the context of acute brain injury.
