NEWBORN REFLEXESDescribes several reflexive actions demonstrated by newborns. Walking or stepping reflexes; Rooting reflex; Tonic-neck reflex; Sucking reflex; Grasp reflex; Moro, or startle reflex; Righting reflex.Arrigo, MaryParenting
You may be surprised to learn that many of your newborn’s actions are actually reflexes—reactions that happen automatically. These reflexive responses can include everything from your baby stepping up and down as you hold her above a surface to her turning her face as you stroke her cheek....

Turning a newborn’s head to one side will cause the extremities to be on that side and extends while the opposite extremities contract or flex. This is also called the boxer of fencing reflex because of the position of the newborn. Of all reflexes, this is the one that appears to have...

While progesterone is widely recognized as an important respiratory stimulant in adult and newborn animals, much remains to be described regarding the underlying mechanisms. We review the potential implication of nuclear and membrane progesterone receptors in adults and in newborns. This raises intriguing...
Deep tendon reflexes are quick muscle contractions in response to a tendon being tapped with a reflex hammer (a sudden stretch in that tendon). These responses are involuntary and automatic. Normal deep tendon reflexes are an important indicator of a healthy nervous system, particularly the peripher...

The aim of the present study was to assess LCR in nonsedated, newborn preterm lambs born at 132 days of gestation (term = 147 days). The preterm lambs were instrumented for recording glottal adductor electromyogram, electroencephalogram, eye movements, heart rate, respiration, and oximetry. A ...
