    Citation Excerpt :

    The calcarine sulcus is part of the primary visual cortex and receives visual information directly from visual stimulation. Studies using visual-evoked potentials or transcranial magnetic stimulation have reported intrinsic hyperexcitability in the visual cortex of patients with photosensitivity, including those with FCMTE and juvenile myoclonic epilepsy [25,26]. However, we found no correlation between PPR grades and MR indices.
