Study reveals link between brain fluid flow disruption and migraines

A study published in the journal Science has uncovered the mechanism linking the neurological symptoms of migraine aura to the subsequent headache, potentially paving the way for new treatment options. Researchers at the University of Rochester Center for Translational Neuromedicine have identified how a disruption in brain fluid flow and a spreading wave of neuronal disturbance lead to migraine headaches. The study also revealed new proteins that may be responsible for triggering these debilit...
