Study reveals brain fluid dynamics as key to migraine mysteries, new therapies
New research led by Maiken Nedergaard, a professor of neurology, of neurosurgery, and codirector of the Center for Translational Neuromedicine, describes for the first time how a spreading wave of disruption and the flow of fluid in the brain triggers headaches, detailing the connection between the neurological symptoms associated with aura and the migraine that follows. The study also identifies new proteins that could be responsible for headaches and may serve as a foundation for new migraine drugs.
