Enhanced reflexive eye closure is mediated by ipRGC signals and is specific to migraine with visual aura

Eric A. Kaiser, Harrison M. McAdams, Aleksandra Igdalova, Edda Briana Haggerty, Brett L. Cucchiara, David H. Brainard, Geoffrey K. Aguirre

The paper assesses the role of ipRGCs and cones in reflexive eye closure as a measure of photophobia in migraine, finding enhanced responses in MwA compared to other groups.

Selective amplification of ipRGC signals accounts for interictal photophobia in migraine

Harrison M. McAdams, Eric A. Kaiser, Aleksandra Igdalova, Edda Briana Haggerty, Brett L. Cucchiara, David H. Brainard, Geoffrey K. Aguirre

This study investigates how melanopsin and cone signals contribute to photophobia in migraine and finds that migraineurs amplify ipRGC signals specifically for discomfort, not pupil responses.
