"We now have a physical explanation of why migraine patients have negative reactions to light,” said Burstein. “And now we are working on ways to use this information in hopes that soon migraine sufferers will be able to avoid not only the pain but also the negative emotions and physical discomfort that light creates for them.”
These findings build on research published by Burstein and colleagues last year, which reported that migraine headache intensity increases with blue, red, amber and white lights but decreases with a specific wavelength of green light."
Huh, cool. I want to know so much more about the functions of these circuits - also, their anatomy. Does it go through the thalamus and pick up on auditory signals there, explaining the "light or noise" thing
FB: If you have migraines, try to hang out in green light. Some weird/cool findings about how people who get migraines might have extra-strong circuits from the eye to the limbic system (emotions, hunger/nausea, anxiety/fear, sleep/alertness, etc...).
