Because of the gradual spreading quality of visual and sensory symptoms, they were thought to arise from the cerebral cortex. Motor symptoms previously included as a type of migraine aura were reclassified as a component of hemiplegic migraine.

The susceptibility to all types of aura is likely to be included by complex and perhaps epigenetic factors.
