Ciliospinal center

Ciliospinal center: Ciliospinal center

Sympathetic connections of the ciliary and superior cervical ganglia. (Ciliospinal center not labeled, but region is visible below superior cervical ganglion.)

The ciliospinal center (in Latin: centrum ciliospinale) is a structure which receives input from the pretectum, and has output to the superior cervical ganglion.

It is located in the intermediolateral cell columns of the spinal cord between C8 and T2.

It plays a role in the control of the iris dilator muscle. It is also known as "Budge's center", or "centre".^[1]

It is associated with a reflex identified by Augustus Volney Waller^[2] and Julius Ludwig Budge in 1852.^[3]
