Migraine is associated with (i) a pupillary sympathetic hypofunction, and (ii) a cortical hypersensitivity to visual stimuli (perhaps only in migraine with aura), the pathogenesis of which remains to be determined. Various hypotheses are discussed, and it is proposed that the methods of visual psychophysics may represent a useful approach in the future study of cortical hyperexcitability in migraine. Paradoxically, little research has been directed towards understanding (i) the photophobia of migraine attacks, and (ii) how migraine may be triggered by visual stimuli.
