Pupil-based arousal self-regulation: impact on physiological and affective responses to emotional stimuli [PDF]
Pupil-based biofeedback has been shown to enable healthy participants to volitionally control locus coeruleus-mediated arousal. The locus coeruleus is considered a critical player in the central stress circuitry and dysfunctions in the system, causing ...

Pupil size is linked to opposite signal fluctuations between cortical BOLD and ventricular CSF [PDF]
Pupillometry has been used as a biomarker of activity in the Locus Coeruleus (LC), a noradrenergic nucleus crucial for arousal. As the LC has been implicated in modulating cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow, here we investigated the associations of pupil ...

Pupil assessment in optic nerve disorders [PDF]
The normal pupillary constriction to light is an involuntary reflex that can be easily elicited and observed without specialized equipment or discomfort to the patient. Attenuation of this reflex in optic nerve disorders was first described 120 years ago.

Contribution of pupillary light reflex assessment to Glasgow Coma Scale for prognostication in patients with traumatic brain injury [PDF]
Background Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and the pupillary light reflex (PLR) are important prognostic tools for traumatic brain injury (TBI). This study compared the predictability of GCS, GCS plus manual PLR (GCS-P), GCS plus Neurological Pupil index (GCS ...

Pupil responses to colorfulness are selectively reduced in healthy older adults
The alignment between visual pathway signaling and pupil dynamics offers a promising non-invasive method to further illuminate the mechanisms of human color perception.

Background: As there is close association between pupil response and accommodation during gaze fixation on an object at any distance, it is important to assess accommodative pupil response both in healthy children and in those with accommodative ...

Intervention in the Cohesion of Narrative Discourse in Pupils with Developmental Language Disorder [PDF]
The main objective of this study was to verify the effectiveness of an intervention program on cohesion in pupils with typical development and with developmental language disorder. A total of 99 5-year-old pupils from schools in the island of Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain) participated.

From pupil to the brain: New insights for studying cortical plasticity through pupillometry
Pupil size variations have been associated with changes in brain activity patterns related with specific cognitive factors, such as arousal, attention, and mental effort.
