Migraine

A neural pathway for photophobia in migraine

Nature Reviews Neurology volume 6, pages 241–242 (2010)Cite this article

Subjects

The neural mechanisms of many symptoms associated with migraine have yet to be elucidated. New research suggests that a non-image-forming retinal pathway and signals from the dura mater contribute to photophobia in patients with migraine. More research is needed to understand the mechanisms behind other migraine-associated symptoms such as nausea and osmophobia.
