MIGRAINE AND HEADACHE
In 2021 The Brain Prize, the world’s largest award for neuroscience, was awarded to Jes Olesen, Lars Edvinsson, Peter Goadsby, and Michael Moskowitz for their work on the causes and treatment of migraine.
The Brain Prize seminar series on migraine and headache consists of 12 seminars from international leaders in the field including the 2021 Brain Prize winners.
The series will begin in April 2021 and end in March 2022 and covers topics including mechanistic studies in patients and animal models, genetics of migraine, cluster- and post-traumatic headache, and treatment of migraine and headache disorders.
Cluster headache is a brain disorder dominated clinically by dreadful episodes of excruciating pain with a circadian pattern and most often focused in bouts with circannual periodicity.
