It is located in the intermediolateral cell columns (IMLCC) 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 Ludwig Julius Budge in 1852.[3]
