This chapter explores the causes and mechanisms behind migraine hallucinations and phantom limb syndrome. It delves into the role of abnormal electrical activity in the brain for migraine hallucinations and how the brain's maps and models of the body contribute to phantom limb sensations.
From phantom limbs to Alice in Wonderland syndrome — why does the brain sometimes mess up its awareness and understanding of the body it belongs to?
