Overview

Luke A. Henderson is affiliated with the University of Sydney in Australia. Their research focuses primarily on the fields of medicine and neuroscience, encompassing a significant body of work in physiology, cognitive neuroscience, neurology, cardiology and cardiovascular medicine, as well as endocrine and autonomic systems.

The scientist's work covers several main research topics, including:

  • Pain Mechanisms and Treatments
  • Neuroscience of respiration and sleep
  • Heart Rate Variability and Autonomic Control
  • Migraine and Headache Studies
  • Pain Management and Placebo Effect
  • Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Studies
  • Trigeminal Neuralgia and Treatments

Frequent collaborators with whom Henderson has published include Vaughan G. Macefield, Paul M. Macey, Noemi Meylakh, Kevin A. Keay, and Lewis Crawford.

Key publication venues for Henderson's research are:

  • Cerebral Cortex
  • Frontiers in Pain Research
  • The Journal of Headache and Pain
  • NeuroImage
  • Clinical Autonomic Research

Recent publications by Henderson illustrate a focus on pain and migraine research. These include:

  • "Chronic Migraine Pathophysiology and Treatment: A Review of Current Perspectives" (2021), published in Frontiers in Pain Research
  • "Altered regional cerebral blood flow and hypothalamic connectivity immediately prior to a migraine headache" (2020), published in Cephalalgia
  • "Altered resting activity patterns and connectivity in individuals with complex regional pain syndrome" (2020), published in Human Brain Mapping
  • "Brainstem Pain-Modulation Circuitry and Its Plasticity in Neuropathic Pain: Insights From Human Brain Imaging Investigations" (2021), published in Frontiers in Pain Research
  • "Exploring alterations in sensory pathways in migraine" (2022), published in The Journal of Headache and Pain

These publications reflect contributions to understanding chronic migraine, neuropathic pain mechanisms, and brain imaging correlates of complex pain syndromes.

Henderson's extensive output demonstrates specialization in neurophysiological mechanisms underlying pain and autonomic control, with interdisciplinary work bridging cardiology, neurology, and sleep neuroscience. The scope of research indicates a consistent engagement with translational and clinical aspects of pain and headache disorders.
