Summary
The paper investigates the role of melanopsin-containing, intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) and the cones in reflexive eye closure as a measure of interictal photophobia in migraine, finding that ipRGC signals contribute to light-induced reflexive eye closure in a photophobic state, with participants with migraine and visual aura having a distinctly different response to visual stimulation.
