Recent studies reported by Dr Greg Dussor (University of Texas, Dallas) at the 2017 American Headache Society meeting in Boston, USA, have opened up an exciting new perspective on CGRP actions. Dr Dussor's unexpected finding is that CGRP can directly stimulate the dura of female, but not male, rodents to cause periorbital hypersensitivity.
