Abstract

Most of the data in this review have been already reported by the authors in Neurological Science, but the goal of the present paper is to realize an integrated lecture of all the available data and look to the last achievements in pain cognition, with a special focus on migraine and chronic migraine. According to the proposed integrated perspective, migraine can be viewed as an adaptive behavioral response with evolutionistic advantages.
