QuestionAnswer
Obtain CPP by MAP-ICP = CPP

what cells are most sensitive to hypoxia? purkinje cells are GABA neurons in cerebellum that control motor funcion, hypoxia destroys them causing paralysis

migraine mechanism vasodilation, spasm, slow neural wave of depolarization w histamine serotonin and prostaglandin release
tension headache bilateral tight pain due to occipital muscle tension
cluster headaches around eyes, temporal, radiate to ipsilateral trigeminal nerve, pain can last days to months accomp by tearing and nose running
