Many women in my family suffer from horrid migraines (somehow I managed to escape this fate, thanks Dad) but my daughter did not. It’s a horrid neurological disorder that leaves your nervous system prey to a number of seemingly innocuous triggers. Both my grandmother and my daughter can have a migraine triggered by asymmetry (among many other things). A floor pattern that doesn’t match up, a shirt or jacket that is buttoned up wrong, a Picasso cubist portrait etc. It’s wild, but their hypersensitive brain might be shedding light on our biological preference for symmetry.
