Pupillary light reflex
The afferent pathway (blue tract) is initiated when light hits the retina:
- Retinal photoreceptors → ipsilateral optic nerve → nuclei of bilateral pretectal areas (nasal fibers of the optic nerve cross to the contralateral side at the optic chiasma)
The efferent pathway (green tract) transmits neural impulses to the iris sphincter muscles:
- Nuclei of pretectal area → bilateral Edinger Westphal nuclei (parasympathetic preganglionic nucleus of the oculomotor nerve) → bilateral oculomotor nerves (synapse at the ciliary ganglion) → bilateral iris sphincter muscles → bilateral pupillary constriction.
Shining a light into one eye causes constriction of the ipsilateral pupil (direct pupillary reflex) as well as that of the contralateral pupil (indirect or consensual pupillary reflex).
