To investigate the underlying neurobiology of episodic and chronic migraine. Current research projects are focused on central changes associated with chronic migraine, particularly the activity of the hypothalamus and endogenous analgesic circuit. Of further interest, is the nature of the activity in these regions following successful and unsuccessful CGRP inhibitor treatment.
