Pupillary response Pupillary response Pupillary response is a physiological response that varies the size of the pupil, via the optic and oculomotor cranial nerve. A constriction response (miosis), is the narrowing of the pupil, which may be caused by scleral buckles or drugs such as opiates/opioids or anti hypertension medications. Constriction of the pupil occurs when the circular muscle, controlled by the parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS), contracts. A dilation response (mydriasis), is the widening of the pupil and may be caused by adrenaline, anticholinergic agents or drugs such as MDMA, cocaine, amphetamines and some hallucinogenics. Dilation of the pupil occurs when 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
