Abstract
The enormous boost of evidence that underlies the knowledge of the migraine mechanisms opens today completely innovative scenarios and lays the foundations for robust applied pharmacology projects. The data network based on genetics and molecular biology allows a more complete understanding of causal or casual interrelationships with other wide-ranging pathologies in clinical medicine. How behaviour, the environment, exogenous or endogenous factors can epigenetically affect the phenotype are now crucial information for having a complete picture of the origin and occurrence of migraine.
