Migraines: What are they and why do they happen?

Discovery

Available for over a year

Migraines affect around one billion people – but what happens in the brain during an attack was, until recently, poorly understood. Peter Goadsby, a professor of neurology at King's College London’s Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, helped unravel what happens in the brain during a migraine attack and his insights are already benefiting patients.
