Excerpt
Recent experimental evidence points out a possible involvement of outer and inner retinal layers in hypersensitivity of migraine patients to light stimuli. To investigate the short-wavelength-sensitive (S) and the medium/long-wavelength-sensitive (ML) cone photoreceptors of the visual pathways in migraine without aura (MO) patients between attacks and in healthy volunteers (HV) by using yellow-blue (Y-B) or red-blue (R-B) visual flicker stimuli. …
