riuminiana, it shows that the response of five mice was normal according to their awareness, grooming, corneal reflex,
pupillary reflex, gripping strength, skin color, urination, lactation, touch response, pain response, convulsion, tremors, righting reflex, salivation, lacrimation, and hyperactivity.
The absence of
pupillary reflex was noted in 71 (93.4%), absence of response to painful stimulus/coma in 70 (92%), absence of spontaneous breathing in 66 (86.8%), absence of corneal reflex in 63 (82.9%), absence of cough reflex in 63 (81.6%), absence of gag reflex in 62 (81.6%), absence of oculovestibular reflex in 59 (77.6%), and absence of oculocephalic reflex in 59 (77.6%; Figure 2).
Literature report that the avian iris is not only involved in

The most common sign of retinoblastoma is a white

ANS Function:

pupillary reflex which is controlled by parasympathetic (constriction) and sympathetic (dilatation) influences.
Neurological manifestations included abnormal plantar reflex (6), abnormal deep tendon reflexes (10), sluggish

This also provides the opportunity to determine what the pupilary reflex should appear like in the child's particular ethnic group, since the
