Pupillary responce

Pupillary response is a physiological response that varies the size of the pupil, via the optic and oculomotor cranial nerve. This response results in either constriction (miosis),[1] narrowing the pupil, or dilation (mydriasis), widening the pupil. Dilation of the pupil occurs when the smooth cells of the radial muscle, controlled by the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), contract. Constriction of the pupil occurs when the circular muscle, controlled by the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS), contracts.

The responses can have a variety of causes, from an involuntary reflex reaction to exposure or inexposure to light — in low light conditions a dilated pupil lets more light into the eye — or it may indicate interest in the subject of attention, or sexual stimulation[2] and is influanced by oxytocine level[3]. The pupils contract immediately before someone falls asleep[4]. A pupillary response can be intentionally conditioned as a Pavlovian response to some stimuli[5].

The latency of pupillary response (the time in which it takes to occur) increases with age[6]. Use of central nervous system stimulant drugs and some hallucinogenic drugs can cause dilation of the pupil[7].

In ophthalmology, intensive studies of pupillary response are conducted via videopupillometry[8].

Anisocoria is the condition of one pupil being more dilated than the other.

Task-invoked pupillary response

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pupillary response

Task-invoked pupillary response (also known as the "Task-Evoked pupillary response" is a pupillary response caused by a cognitive load imposed on a human and as a result of the decrease in parasympathetic activity in the peripheral nervous system.[9] It is found to result in a linear increase in pupil dilation as the demands a task places on the working memory increase. Beatty, J.[10] evaluated task-invoked pupillary response in different tasks for short-term memory, language processing, reasoning, perception, sustained attention and selective attention and found that it fulfils Kahneman’s[11] three criteria for indicating processing load. That is, it can reflect differences in processing load within a task, between different tasks and between individuals. It is used as an indicator of cognitive load levels in psychophysiology research.

Mechanism

Pupil response is governed by the autonomic nervous system. Pupil dilation depends on the activation of the adrenergic sympathetic nervous system, while pupil constriction depends on the cholinergic parasympathetic nervous system[12]. It has been well documented that pupil response is modulated not only by an ambient luminance level (the so-called pupil light reflex) but also by the amount of mental effort invested in a task [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. For example, Porter et al[24] reported that the pupil dilates when subjects conduct a difficult visual search task in which high mental effort has to be invested.

Neuroadrenaline may play a role in pupulary responce during suprise[25]

Emotional Responce

Emotional pictures arouse the SNS which cause mydriasis[26].

From Bradley et al 2008[27]

Neural Gain

Converging evidence suggests that baseline pupil diameter is correlated with tonic levels of LC-NE activity in rats, cats and monkeys[28][29], as with human behaviors that are predicted to be associated with tonic LC-NE activity in a variety of experimental tasks and manipulations[30][31][32][33]

Although, no mechanism was found yet to the connection of pupil size and LC-NE system[34], Murphy et al (2011) found that p300 and pupil dilation is highly corrolated with LC-NE system behviour, according to the Yerkes-Dodson arousal curve[35]:

Pupil size is thought to be controled by the LC-NE system see Cohen[36]and Jepma & Nieuwenhuis[37]. Neural gain, may be the same as mind clouser

Oxitocin enhanced social detecting, and also pupil size (probably because of enhanced learning and attention)[38]

Pupil size enalrgment may be imparid by strong light, this is the reason, Murphy et al. tested the subjects in minimal light[39]

There is a link between ACC activation and pupil size[40]

RPE

RPE can cause pupil dilation in the case of risk error prediction[41][42].

Fear

Intimidating faces can cause pupil dilation[43].
