Why do our pupils dilate when we look at or think about something we like?

Asked by jeanmay (3429points) August 13th, 2008

I can clearly notice my young son’s pupils dilate when he looks me in the eye. Why do we do this and how? Is this some hormonal process? What purpose does it serve? Anyone know a good theory? Do any other animals do this?
