Relating to both the ciliary body of the eye and the spinal cord; describing nerve pathways or reflexes between these structures.
From 'ciliary' and 'spinal' combining two anatomical systems. This neuroanatomical term describes reflex arcs and sympathetic pathways that connect the eye and central nervous system.
The ciliospinal reflex is wild—your spinal cord and eye are wired together so that certain stimuli can cause your pupil to dilate, proving your body is basically a nervous system-wide network running 24/7!
