Abstract:
:We measured the pupillary light reflex (PLR) in 5 pigmented, Long Evans rats (under urethan sedation) in three conditions: direct stimulation, consensual stimulation, and a control condition designed to measure the effects of stray light. The average constriction (maximal amplitude) produced by a ganzfeld stimulus delivering 1.6 log quanta absorbed per rod per sec for a duration of 3 sec was measured to be 0.78 +/- 0.07 mm for the direct PLR, 0.67 +/- 0.06 mm for the consensual PLR, and 0.07 +/- 0.029 mm for the control condition. We corrected the consensual measurement for each rat by subtracting the value of the control (stray-light induced) constriction. A comparison of the corrected consensual constriction to the direct constriction showed that, on average, the consensual constriction attained an amplitude of 78% of the direct constriction. Our findings contradict claims that the consensual pupillary light reflex is absent in rodents. Although our results are in agreement with findings showing bilateral projections of the retina to the pretectum (which subserves the pupillary light reflex) in the rat, the consensual-to-direct ratio we report is higher than might be expected from anatomical estimates of the overall proportion of uncrossed to crossed optic fibers in the rat.
