Zebrafish: A New Frontier in Migraine Research

Research Summary

Migraine is a leading cause of global disability, affecting over 1 billion people with its complex and poorly understood pathogenesis. Researchers are exploring new models to study this debilitating disorder, and zebrafish are emerging as a promising option. The paper "Towards zebrafish models of migraine" published in Experimental Neurology examines the potential of zebrafish to model migraine-like conditions. These fish could complement existing rodent models, offering new insights into migraine mechanisms. The study highlights the potential for zebrafish to facilitate high-throughput pharmacological testing, while also addressing the challenges and outlining future research directions in this innovative field.
