Summary

Classical migraine attacks impair higher-order visual processing, affecting tasks like reading and spatial navigation. These effects are lateralized, impacting the function of the affected hemisphere during migraine.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Ophthalmology
  • Cognitive Psychology

Background:

  • Classical migraine is known for lateralized sensory disturbances, such as visual "fortification" figures.
  • The impact of classical migraine on higher-order cognitive processes remains largely unexplored.
  • Understanding these effects is crucial for a comprehensive view of migraine's neurological consequences.
