Control of the Pupil: Neuroanatomy Video Lab - Brain Dissections

Through diagrams, animations and gross specimens the constriction and dilation of the pupil by the autonomic nervous system are described. Both the parasympathetic and sympathetic control are traced and the importance of a constricted pupil, Horner’s Syndrome, and temporal lobe (uncal) herniation (dilation) are emphasized.
