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 ...

The eye's pupils constrict (shrink) in brightness and dilate (expand) in darkness. The pupillary light response was historically considered a low-level reflex without any cognitive component. Here, we ...

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 ...

New research points to an easily measured eye response to light as a potentially useful way of diagnosing autism in very young children. Further testing is currently underway in a large cohort of ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Evaluating concussion patients for recovery and measuring compounding injuries can be done as simply as recording a video with a smartphone. Reflex, a smartphone application ...

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.

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 ...

Introduction Changes to the pupillary light reflex (PLR) have been demonstrated in traumatic brain injury and in adolescents with a history of concussion. Assessment of changes to the PLR following ...

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 ...
