Hippocampal connectivity dynamics and volumetric alterations predict cognitive status in migraine: A resting-state fMRI study by Seyda Cankaya, Behcet Ayyildiz, Dila Sayman, Umutcan Duran, Dogukan Ucak, Ramazan Karaca, Sevilay Ayyildiz, Ece Ozdemir Oktem, Hatice Lakadamyalı, Ceyhun Sayman, Ahmet Ozsimsek, Ali Yalçınkaya, Lutfu Hanoglu, Halil Aziz Velioglu, Burak Yulug

“…Also, we found significant differences in hippocampal subfields between migraine patients and control groups in terms of functional connectivity after adjusting for years of education; here we showed that the left CA3 showed higher connectivity with right MFG and right occipitolateral cortex. Furthermore, the connectivity of left fimbria with the left temporal lobe and hippocampus and the connectivity of the right hippocampal-tail with right insula, heschl's gyrus, and frontorbital cortex were lower in the migraineurs.Additionally, volumes of specific hippocampal subfields were significantly lower in the migraineurs (whole hippocampus p = 0.004, whole hippocampus head p = 0.003, right CA1 head p = 0.006, and right HATA p = 0.005) compared to controls. …”
