Well that explains it. I'm cortically thick!

This, apparently, means that migraines will be "easier to diagnose".
Hhmm. As far as I understand it, there are few problems with diagnosing migraines. I just get the feeling that this was a marketing "ploy". There had to be something obviously "in it" for migraine sufferers. Personally, I don't think that all research has to come up with something at the end of it.
We know a bit more about migraines and their effect on the brain. This is great. The more we know the better! The really interesting think for me is that this shows that there are *physical changes* to the brains of people we migraines. We can show it's not all in our heads or made up. It's causing our cortex to thicken! Most thickened tissue caused by trauma is called SCARRING. Migraines should never be taken lightly, but to me, this should give us more impetus in looking for better treatments (not just stronger painkillers).
We need to get to the cause of these things, and not just cover them up. They ARE doing us damage.
