Migraines and your brain (via Toronto Sun)A study in Boston shows that migraines are not linked to cognitive decline. This is something that’s always been in the back of my mind, actually. Does each migraine bring me closer to a higher risk of dementia? The study says no. Comparing cognitive function of migraineurs and non-migraineurs aged 45 and over every two years showed no real difference between the two groups. Technically, the only difference was a higher risk of stroke, but we already knew that.

What do you think of these findings?
