2．    Recently，four professors of neuroscience were awarded the Brain Prize for their life changing contributions to the research on migraines（偏頭痛），a disease previously not understood well.
    Professor Michael Moskowitz from Harvard Medical School，Peter Goadsby from King's College London，Lars Edvinsson from Lund University in Sweden，and Jes Olesen from Rigshospitalet，Denmark，were celebrated as the recipients of the Brain Prize，the world's most distinguished award highlighting achievements in brain research.The Crown Prince of Denmark presented the four professors with a grand prize of roughly 1.5 million dollars on October 25 in Copenhagen，Denmark.
    Migraines remain one of the most serious and common neurological illnesses millions around the world suffer.Studies show that women are three times more likely to experience frequent and intense migraines than men，and symptoms can last up to 24 hours.Typically，these intense head-throbbing pains are also accompanied by vomiting（嘔吐），dizziness and sensitivity to sound，light，and touch.
    After over forty years of research，the four professors pinpointed the major cause — chemicals released within the brain.Previously，the main causes of migraines were thought to be stress，pressure or anxiety.In 1979，Professor Michael Moskowitz discovered that headaches occur when thin nerves are found in our head and face to interact with a highly-sensitive membrane（膜） surrounding our brain，releasing chemicals called neuropeptides.These chemicals can then cause the blood vessels in our head to expand and also send pain signals to the brain.Later，research by Professor Goadsby and Edvinsson revealed that the specific neuropeptide which plays the central role in causing the intense headache is calcitonin gene-related peptide （CGRP）.Then，Professor Olesen's work further confirmed that CGRP is indeed responsible for the pain，rather than a chemical produced in the brain as a result of the migraines.
    The work by these scientists paves the way for developing more effective medicine.While past treatments can only temporarily stop the pain，scientists say that the newly developed drugs not only prevent migraines but also don't cause the harmful side effects patients had to endure.
