Abstract:Migraine, an unmet medical need, is due to an overactive trigeminovascular system (TGVS). The trigeminal ganglion (TG), a hub of the TGVS, transmits the pain signals arising from neurogenic inflammation in the meninges to the brainstem. Previously, we have revealed an unprecedented role of the α6 subunit‐containing GABAA receptor (the GABAA receptor α6 subtype, α6GABAAR) on TG in the neuropathogenesis of migraine using the α6GABAAR‐specific positive allosteric modulators (PAMs)1 we developed. In a rat model of… Show more
