Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating peptide (PACAP) - an emerging molecule in primary headaches

Edited by: Messoud Ashina
Here, we introduce the The Journal of Headache and Pain thematic series on pituitary adenylate cyclase activating peptide (PACAP) as an emerging molecule in primary headaches. Over the past decade PACAP has emerged as a key signaling in migraine and cluster headache and this thematic series summarizes the most important aspects of PACAP physiological functions from its discovery in the central nervous system to experimental studies with relevance to primary headaches.
