The luminance detectors in the olivary pretectal nucleus, which are likely candidates mediating the pupillary light reflex, responded to all frequencies of sinusoidally modulated light up to 12-25 Hz. At low frequencies (0.05-4.0 Hz) the luminance detectors responded with modulated firing to differe
