calcium influx and subsequent glutamate release at cortical pyramidal cell synapses were increased in mice carrying the FHM mutation. Glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain. The facilitation of induction and propagation of CSD in the FHM mice was completely eliminated when glutamate release was decreased to control levels. Importantly, in contrast with the enhanced excitatory neurotransmission, inhibitory neurotransmission was not altered in the migraine mice.
This further blurs the line between neurology and psychiatry.

Agreed. Like the mice driven insane with torture in order to mimic the stress effects in schizophrenia.

You will not see me working in one of those labs.
