  • Title: [Results of neurophysiologic studies in ophthalmic migraine].
    Author: Sack G, Leubuscher HJ, Pögelt B, Roth N.
    Journal: Psychiatr Neurol Med Psychol (Leipz); 1986 May; 38(5):246-54. PubMed ID: 3749346.
    Abstract:
    The influence in 8 of our patients with ophthalmic migraine of photic driving with sine-like flashing lights on EEG background activity was checked and the visually evoked potentials following the application of diffused simple light stimuli were analyzed using the recovery cycle technique. The results indicate a slightly increased tonic activity of the structures of the mesencephalic formatio reticularis, such as may be produced by slight functional disturbances. Some vegetative secondary symptoms of migraine attacks and some of the changes in EEG observed in patients with ophthalmic migraine are explicable by such an abnormality.
