New University of Utah research suggests that living at higher elevations may increase the likelihood of experiencing migraine aura. By combining nationwide patient data with laboratory studies, researchers are uncovering...
Hosted by Dr. KC Brennan, this global conference will showcase research advances and, most importantly, will also increase awareness about this surprisingly common but little-known phenomenon of the brain.
Using two-photon microscopy, KC Brennan, MD, and colleagues discovered unusual activity of the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate in mice carrying a mutated gene identified from a family with inherited migraine.
Massive “plumes” of a key neurotransmitter surging in the brain could help explain the onset of migraine with aura—and potentially a broad swath of neurologic disease, including stroke and traumatic...
