Transcript
Pupillerefleks:
The circuitry responsible for the pupillary light reflex. This pathway includes bilateral
projections from the retina to the pretectum and projections from the pretectum to the
Edinger-Westphal nucleus. Neurons in the Edinger-Westphal nucleus terminate in the ciliary
ganglion, and neurons in the ciliary ganglion innervate the pupillary constrictor muscles.
Notice that the afferent axons activate both Edinger-Westphal nuclei via the neurons in the
pretectum.
