Researchers from the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King’s College London have used a novel approach to show that the patterns of activity in two brain chemical systems—glutamate and serotonin—are different in people with visual snow syndrome compared to those without the condition.
Visual snow syndrome is characterized by a continuous visual disturbance in which people see static, flickering dots, and flashing lights—this happens when their eyes are both open and closed. It affects about 2 -3% of the world’s population and it can be debilitating, impacting vision, hearing, thinking, sensory processing, and quality of life.
