Abstract
In the present account we are concerned with two aspects of our work on the parasympathetic control of pupillary responses. Firstly the neural organisation of the light reflex and secondly the possible mechanisms involved in the high pupilloconstrictor tone observed during sleep and under anaesthesia.
