摘要

近年来越来越多的研究聚焦大脑认知活动与生理变量之间的相关性，瞳孔的变化被看作是认知过程中的重要靶标，成为领域研究的热点。本综述聚焦在调节瞳孔变化的3个关键脑区，通过阐述瞳孔变化与认知表现的相关神经通路来反应瞳孔变化背后的神经生理机制，综合近年来有关认知疾病中瞳孔变化的研究，旨在推动将瞳孔变化应用于未来认知的科学领域。

Abstract

In recent years, more and more researches has focused on the correlation between cognitive activity and physiological variables. The change of pupil is regarded as an important target in the cognitive process, and has become a hot research field. This review focuses on the three key brain regions that regulate pupil change, and reflects the neurophysiological mechanism behind pupil change by elaborating the neural pathways related to pupil change and cognitive performance. Based on recent studies on pupil change in cognitive diseases, it aims to promote the application of pupil change in the field of cognitive science in the future.
