“An Amazingly Common and Disabling Disorder”: Talking Migraine With Gregory Dussor

Editor’s note: Gregory Dussor, PhD, is Associate Professor and Eugene McDermott Endowed Fellow in the Department of Neuroscience and Center for Advanced Pain Studies at the University of Texas at Dallas. The focus of his work is the understanding of the pathophysiology of chronic headache disorders such as migraine, using a variety of preclinical models.

In this podcast, Dr. Dussor speaks with PRF Correspondent Sarah D'Angelo, who recently graduated with a BS in biology from Rutgers University, Camden, New Jersey, US, to discuss his path to migraine research, mechanisms of migraine including differences between the sexes, the evolutionary purpose of migraine, and his much-ballyhooed performance in a video for Ted's Pain Cream.
