The eye's light-sensing retina taps different circuits depending on whether it is generating image-forming vision or carrying out a non-vision function such as regulating pupil size or sleep/wake ...

A new study shows that infants who are later diagnosed with autism react more strongly to sudden changes in light. This finding provides support for the view that sensory processing plays an important ...

An abnormal pupillary light reflex (PLR) is commonly detected in patients with glaucoma, and these differences can be used to distinguish glaucomatous eyes from unaffected eyes, according to the ...

May 28, 2010 (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) — In an effort to find discrete phenotypic features that are consistently present in autistic populations, researchers at the University of Missouri Thompson ...

SPOKANE, Wash.—Measuring how the eyes’ pupils change in response to light—known as the pupillary light reflex—could potentially be used to screen for autism in young children, according to a study ...

Pupil size in response to light could serve as a biomarker for concussion, according to a study published in Life. “A concussive injury to the brain is associated with changes in the PLR [pupillary ...

Pupillometry, the precise measurement of pupil size and dynamics, has emerged as a valuable tool in evaluating both autonomic nervous system integrity and central neural function. In particular, ...

June 19 (UPI) --New analysis suggests the iris in the eye of a mouse doesn't need the brain's help to sense light and direct the pupils to dilate or contract in response. Neuroscientists at Johns ...

An artificial vision sensor inspired by the human pupil adapts automatically to light, maintaining clear perception from darkness to glare and sharply improving recognition accuracy in machine ...

A new study published in Nature Communications shows that infants who are later diagnosed with autism react more strongly to sudden changes in light. This finding provides support for the view that ...
