name change

is not pupil dilation the increase in a pupil and pupillary response then, which from this article in itself i take it that means a category including contraction and dilation of the pupil, does not refer to the same thing as pupil dilation in the English language?Makeswell (talk) 15:51, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, changed the name back to "pupillary response". --❨Ṩtruthious ℬandersnatch❩ 00:56, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

pupil dilation

according to wiki how pupil enlargement makes others like you more, is this true???--RIVER ^{Babble at my brooks} 22:11, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a source you can read directly: Women's pupillary responses to sexually significant others during the hormonal cycle --❨Ṩtruthious ℬandersnatch❩ 19:30, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

separate article from mydriasis?

I put the phrase "pupil dilation" into the search field and was directed here, but really I was trying to remember the term mydriasis. That is a mature article, so what is the purpose of this one? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.249.162.52 (talk) 22:32, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Did you read that page? The first line is "Mydriasis is an excessive dilation of the pupil due to disease, trauma or the use of drugs." That's a very specific kind of pupillary response, this page is about the topic in general. --❨Ṩtruthious ℬandersnatch❩ 00:56, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Combine with Pupil article?

This article is categorized as a stub. It could not be expanded much without starting to duplicate Mydriasis, but it could become a section in Pupil, to which this article's title would then redirect. Would such a combination be better than continued stubbiness? Ornithikos (talk) 04:52, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge?

I wonder if this article could be combined with pupillary light reflex? --Hordaland (talk) 21:16, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I just had the same thought. The articles on pupillary light reflex and pupillary response substantially overlap. The above suggestion of Hordaland (may she rest in peace) is worth revisiting. Biblib (talk), 15 December 2022

More examples of pupillary response.

Dilation due to anger (sources are available at the end of page 4.) - http://www.webmd.com/men/features/anger-control-men

Fixed pupils occur in brain death (dilation reflex ceases) - http://www.webmd.com/brain/news/20140103/brain-dead-faq?page=2

Fixed pupils occur in imminent death (dilation reflex ceases; sources are available at the end of page 2.) - http://www.webmd.com/cancer/news/20150209/researchers-identify-8-signs-of-impending-death

Fixed and dilated pupils occur after death - http://www.cancer.org/treatment/nearingtheendoflife/nearingtheendoflife/nearing-the-end-of-life-death

I believe that these two sites are considered reliable sources. Thank you, Wordreader (talk) 05:30, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
