A new study has demonstrated that the brains of people who experience migraines and other types of headaches cannot modulate visual stimulation in the same way a person without these conditions can.

The researchers here were interested specifically in two areas of the cerebral cortex—the visual cortex, which processes visual information, and the motor cortex—which controls voluntary movement.

Apr. 16, 2025 — Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) type 2 is a congenital malformation of the cerebral cortex that is often associated with difficult-to-treat epilepsy. In the affected areas ...
