We tested the hypothesis that migraine and tension-type headache are separate disorders based on visual evoked potentials. We recruited 120 migraine without aura patients (MwoA), 64 tension-type headache patients (TTH), and 51 healthy controls. We performed discriminant analysis combined with a stepwise selection of predictors. Mean values of the F1 component were significantly increased over Fp1, C3, P4, O2 and O1 electrodes in MwoA and TTH patients compared with normal subjects. Only the control subjects were correctly distinguished. The increased brain response to visual stimulation detected in both MwoA and TTH may suggest a common neuronal dysfunction in the two headache subtypes.

Analysis of the brain response to different types of external stimuli has always been one of the major research areas in behavioral neuroscience. The electroencephalography (EEG) technique combined with different signal analysis approaches has been especially successful in revealing the detailed dynamic properties of the neural response to exogenous stimulation. In this analysis, we evaluated the nonlinear structure of the EEG signal using fractal theory in rest and visual stimulation (checkerboard reversal at 8, 14 and 28[Formula: see text]Hz). Our analysis showed a significant influence of stimulation on the fractal structure of EEG signal. On comparison between different conditions, 14-Hz steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEPs), previously shown to trigger an optimal brain response, exhibited the greatest influence on the complexity of the EEG signal. On the other hand, we observed the lowest complexity of EEG signal in the post-stimulation rest period. Statistical analysis confirmed significant differences in the fractal structure of the EEG signal between rest and different stimulation conditions. These findings demonstrate for the first time a direct relationship between the efficiency of brain processing and the complexity of the measured EEG signal, which could be employed for objective assessment and classification in various experimental paradigms.

Pattern reversal visual evoked potentials were recorded in 71 children with different types of migraine (e.g. migraine with aura, migraine without aura) or tension-type headache and in 19 controls (mean age of both groups 9 years). P100 latencies were comparable in all three groups.

Abstract:The relationship between chromatically modulated stimuli and visual evoked potentials (VEPs) was considered. VEPs of normal subjects elicited by chromatically modulated stimuli were measured under several color adaptations, and their binary kernels were estimated. Up to the second-order, binary kernels obtained from VEPs were so characteristic that the VEP-chromatic modulation system showed second-order nonlinearity. First-order binary kernels depended on the color of the stimulus and adaptation, whereas second-order kernels showed almost no difference. This result indicates that the waveforms of first-order binary kernels reflect perceived color (hue). This supports the suggestion that kernels of VEPs include color responses, and could be used as a probe with which to examine the color visual system.

Objective: To study the effect of check width size of the stimuli on the amplitude and latency of the P100 component of visual evoked potentials recorded in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Methods: Pattern reversal visual evoked potentials (PVEPs) were recorded in 16 RP patients and 20 visually normal subjects. Pattern reversal stimuli with five different check widths and 100% of contrast were projected in the right eye of both patients and control subjects. PVEPs induced by stimuli with 78%, 16%, and 6% of contrast were also recorded in 10 of the control subjects. Results: In RP patients, the amplitude of P100 was smaller than controls in all check sized used and the peak P100 amplitude was obtained with a larger check width than in controls. P100 was also delayed in RP patients in all check sizes studied. The P100 amplitude- and latency-check size functions of RP patients were like those found in control subjects with low contrast stimuli of 16% and 6%. Conclusion: The PVEPs spatial functions of RP patients show quantitative and qualitative changes, suggesting disease induced alteration in the neural processing of stimulus contrast.

Visual Evoked

Aim: Investigation of responses of multifocal visual-evoked potentials (mfVEPs) in schizophrenic patients under treatment in whom no abnormality was detected on the conventional perimetry.Methods: Recordings of mfVEPs were performed in 31 schizophrenic patients and 30 normal subjects using a VERIS Junior Science recording apparatus (Mayo, Aichi, Japan). Responses from eight sites in each subject were divided into four quadrants (superior and inferior temporal quadrants, and superior and inferior nasal quadrants). In each quadrant, two response waves were grouped and averaged, and the latency and amplitude of main waveforms that appeared near 100 ms were evaluated.Results: The peak latency was about 7–9 ms prolonged and the amplitude was reduced by about 2–5 nV/deg2 in the schizophrenic patient group compared to those in the normal subject group, and significant differences were noted in both parameters in all quadrants.Conclusion: In schizophrenic patients under treatment with psychotropic agents, prolongation of the latency and amplitude reduction were noted in mfVEPs even though no abnormality was detected on the conventional perimetry.
