Abstract
1. Recordings have been made of pupilloconstrictor unit activity within the small-celled component of the oculomotor nucleus of the cat. The identity of these neurones was determined by testing unit responses to a sequence of stimuli which produced dilation and constriction of the sympathectomized pupil.Keywords
