Summary
This paper investigates the link between migraine, visual systems and brain responsiveness, revealing cortical hypo-excitability in patients with migraine between attacks and establishing a foundation for future studies including the NIF visual system in migraine.

Pain management: The paper investigates the link between migraine, visual systems and brain responsiveness, revealing cortical hypo-excitability in patients with migraine between attacks.
Eye health: The paper discusses the role of the non-image forming (NIF) visual system in the exacerbation of migraines, providing the first neuroimaging evidence that the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the NIF system displays a sustained response to blue light.
