  • Title: [Local adaptation curves evoked by the pupillo-motor reflex].
    Author: Trimarchi F, Bianchi PE.
    Journal: Arch Ophtalmol (Paris); 1976 Apr; 36(4):321-6. PubMed ID: 135547.
    Abstract:
    We have studied local dark-adaptation curves using the pupillary reflex. The results obtained indicate that the dark-adaptation curves produced by central and peripheral stimulation are variable and are in principle similar to the psychophysical curves obtained in matching conditions. This result demonstrates that the pupillary reflex is triggered by two different types of receptors which have the same characteristics as the cones and the rods, and that the system of the pupillary receptors and the optical pathways is identical.
