Abstract

Previous studies have identified anomalies of cortical visual processing in migraineurs that appear to extend beyond V1. Migraineurs respond differently than controls to transcranial magnetic stimulation of V5. and can demonstrate impairments of global motion processing. This study was designed to assess the integrity of intermediate stages of both motion and form processing in people with migraine. We measured the ability to integrate local orientation information into a global form percept, and to integrate local motion information into a global motion percept. Control subjects performed significantly better than migraineurs on both tasks, suggesting a diffuse visual cortical processing anomaly in migraine. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
