Migraine affects over 10% of people and disproportionately impacts women. This research studies sex differences in brain circuits using mouse models to understand why. By manipulating neural pathways, findings show certain circuits trigger migraine-like sensitivity only in females. Mapping these circuits may enable personalized, more effective migraine treatments.

Migraine affects over a billion people, yet its cellular mechanisms remain unclear. This research studies how CGRP-blocking drugs interact with two key receptors—CGRP and AMY1—to understand why treatments help some patients but not others. The findings may guide development of more effective, targeted migraine therapies and reduce debilitating attacks.
