I thought that migraines were looking more and more like neurological problems.

What do you mean with that? What makes them look like a neurological problem?

Well, I was reading up on migraines a little while ago, and I read that the latest research seems to indicate that migraines are more neurological than anything else.

Migraines also apparently effect the structure of the brain, altering it slightly. So migraine sufferers have slightly more developed sections of their brains than is normal. Of course, the difference is rather minute.
