ABSTRACT

For a neurologist, the concept of reflex, often regarded as the ‘alphabet of neurology’, represents one of the fundamental principles that help unravel the mysteries of phenomena encountered in clinical practice, whether developmental, physiological, or pathological, often appear as a code for a puzzle to be solved. understanding the concept of reflexes may be the first step in comprehending the nervous system, which is filled with highly complex reflexes.
