I cam across this on MyMigraineConnection this morning.

It is a highlight of a larger article regarding research on medicine that targets neuropeptides to halt migraines. They say that migraine is more related to “neuronal excitation” rather than blood flow. Which agrees with what my specialist has told me about my case.
For example, two people experience the same stimulus, like weather or perfume–one gets a migraine the other doesn’t. The difference being that the migraineur’s neurons overreact and cause pain while the other person’s nuerons respond in a more normal fashion and she doesn’t experience pain.
It’s just nice to see that the research continues.
