N2 - Hubert Airy's iconic drawing of his own migraine visual aura for which he coined the term, "teichopsia," conveys important lessons for the contemporary clinician. His observations of the expansion ("build-up") , minification/magnification, and color/achromatopsia of migrainous teichopsia are consistent with (and possibly anticipatory of) the later discoveries of cortical spreading depression, cortical magnification of primary visual cortex (V1), and specialized cortical centers for color vision.
