May 28, 2010 (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) — In an effort to find discrete phenotypic features that are consistently present in autistic populations, researchers at the University of Missouri Thompson ...

New research points to an easily measured eye response to light as a potentially useful way of diagnosing autism in very young children. Further testing is currently underway in a large cohort of ...

An abnormal red reflex finding most likely reflects an underlying ocular pathology in infants, but finding a normal red reflex during screening does not altogether exclude ocular disease. The American ...

Measuring how the eyes' pupils change in response to light -- known as the pupillary light reflex -- could potentially be used to screen for autism in young children, according to a new study.

Pupil size in response to light could serve as a biomarker for concussion, according to a study published in Life. “A concussive injury to the brain is associated with changes in the PLR [pupillary ...

A new study shows that infants who are later diagnosed with autism react more strongly to sudden changes in light. This finding provides support for the view that sensory processing plays an important ...

The study, led by researchers from UNSW Sydney and published in eLife, found that the pupils of people with aphantasia did not respond when asked to imagine dark and light objects, while those without ...

Objective Pupillary light reflex (PLR) metrics are enhanced in adolescents with concussion. It is not known if these PLR metrics in concussed adolescents return back to the normal range at recovery.
