Summary
This paper discusses the sensitivity of migraineurs to flickering patterns of light and the degree to which habituation to these stimuli is abnormal, with a focus on the level of the visual pathway at which habituation occurs.
Categories
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the cognitive function and memory in relation to the sensitivity of migraineurs to flickering patterns of light and their inability to habituate to these stimuli.
Pain management: The paper is relevant to pain management as it discusses the debilitating nature of migraines and the potential for understanding the neural basis of flicker sensitivity in migraines to lead to more effective treatments.
