Mydriasis More generally, mydriasis also refers to the natural dilation of pupils, for instance in low light conditions or under sympathetic stimulation. An informal term for mydriasis is blown pupil, and is used by medical providers. It is usually used to refer to a fixed, unilateral mydriasis, which could be a symptom of raised intracranial pressure. The opposite, constriction of the pupil, is referred to as miosis. Both mydriasis and miosis can be physiological. Anisocoria is the condition of one pupil being more dilated than the other. There are two types of muscle that control the size of the iris: the
Normally hyperbolic invariant manifold the unstable bundle and denoted "E" and "E", respectively. With respect to some Riemannian metric on "M", the restriction of "Df" to "E" must be a contraction and the restriction of "Df" to "E" must be an expansion, and must be relatively neutral on formula_4. Thus, there exist constants formula_5 and "c" > 0 such that and Normally hyperbolic invariant manifold A normally hyperbolic invariant manifold (NHIM) is a natural generalization of a hyperbolic fixed point and a hyperbolic set. The difference can be described heuristically as follows: For a manifold formula_1 to be normally hyperbolic we are allowed to
