Description
Given that catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) is widely distributed in the hippocampus and its genetic variation is thought to contribute to the interindividual variability in pain perception and anxiety regulation, whether or not migraine and COMT val(158) met genotype have an interactive effect in the key brain area related to maladaptive stress, the hippocampus, is still poorly understood.
