Title
In Brief.
Abstract
The article reports on the findings of a recent study which indicate that people who suffer from migraine headaches have differences in an area of the brain that helps process sensory information, including pain. Twenty-four people with migraines were compared to twelve people without migraines. Researchers found that part of the cortex area of the brain was an average of twenty-one percent thicker in those with migraines. It notes the need for further research to determine if this is a cause or effect of migraines.
