The Brain Prize Online Seminar Series: Lars Edvinsson's Brain Prize seminar

 

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.

In this presentation I will describe how the CGRP project started and culminated in the development of gepants and mAbs for successful therapy. The outstanding question regarding the preponderance of female migraineurs also remains. I will present views on the reason behind this and suggest that understanding the hormonal influence will pave the way to alleviating hormone related migraine.
