Multisensory integration has been recently shown to produce a larger pupil size than unisensory constituents. Superior colliculus (SC), an important laminar nucleus in the midbrain, not only engages ...

The human retina contains some 100 million photoreceptor cells. When these are stimulated with light, they communicate that information to the brain and we perceive light. Researchers have now ...

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 ...

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 ...

A novel bedside eye assessment could significantly improve doctors' ability to forecast recovery in patients with severe ...

Objective Pupillary light reflex (PLR) metrics are enhanced in adolescents with concussion. It is not known if these PLR metrics in concussed adolescents return back to the normal range at recovery.

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 ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Capturing objective data in about five seconds that can aid concussion diagnoses through an iPhone, the Reflex PLR Analyzer, an industry-disruptive diagnostic tool for traumatic ...

University of Tokyo researchers have found that the light reflex of the pupil is modulated by light stimulation inside the blind spot in normal human observers, even though that light is not perceived ...
