Initial stage of the migraine pain, revealed that there occurs a sudden eruption of the cortical activity in the occipital lobes that is back part of the brain. In the occipital lobe there will be spontaneous increase in the activity and and suddenly result in decline in the activity and ultimately demoralized state.
