You have probably heard the saying that the eyes are the windows to the soul, but now it turns out that they are also connected to how we breathe. Scientists have long studied the size of our pupils ...
The size of our pupils fluctuates as we breathe. They are at their smallest as we start to breathe in, increase steadily to reach their largest size when we are in the middle of breathing out, then ...
The way the brain regulates pupil size is different from previously thought: fundamentally responsible is the neurotransmitter orexin, as researchers at ETH Zurich have now shown. This discovery could ...
The pupillary light response helps our eyes see the world around us in various lighting conditions ranging from bright, sunny days to dark, moonlit nights. Like a camera's aperture, this adaptive ...
Your pupils might be able to count … sort of. New research suggests a person's pupil size can change based on the number of objects an individual observes in their visual field. Pupils are holes ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have discovered a fundamental mechanism that affects the size of the pupil, namely our breathing. The study, published in The Journal of Physiology, ...
The horizontal axis represents the time elapsed following the presentation of the image, while the vertical axis denotes the degree of change in pupil diameter relative to the image presentation. A ...
