Given the important role of NR2A and SFK in CSD propagation and in Panx1 activation leading to neuro-inflammatory responses, we propose that NR2A/SFK/Panx1 signaling may play an important role in migraine aura pathogenesis (Figure 5) and drugs that target this pathway might constitute an effective strategy for migraine prophylaxis. The gene discussed is GRIN2A; the disease is migraine disorder.
