Only the brain stem, which enables breathing and primitive reflexes, is present.

Some primitive reflexes too arise before birth and are still present in newborns.

In the early stages, development arises out of movements caused by primitive reflexes.

The alphabet of movement; primitive reflexes, righting reactions, and equilibrium responses.

High-risk newborns will often show abnormal responses of primitive reflexes, or lack a response entirely.

But because the patients still have a working brain stem, which controls breathing and primitive reflexes, it is not permissible to take their organs.

Primitive reflexes and postural reactions in the neurodevelopmental examination.

These primitive reflexes are also called infantile, infant or newborn reflexes.

Newborn babies have a number of other reflexes which are not seen in adults, referred to as primitive reflexes.

In addition to the characteristic cognitive dysfunction, a number of primitive reflexes known as frontal release signs are often able to be elicited.

Atypical primitive reflexes are also being researched as potential early warning signs of autistic spectrum disorders.

Another important diagnostic factor is the persistence of primitive reflexes past the age at which they should have disappeared (6-12 months of age).

Primitive reflexes are primarily tested with suspected brain injury for the purpose of assessing frontal lobe functioning.

Primitive reflexes--instincts, you could almost say--coming to the fore in him, perhaps?

Reemergence of primitive reflexes.

All they knew was work; they had no potentialities to be developed, but they also had no primitive reflexes.

Frontal release signs are primitive reflexes traditionally held to be a sign of disorders that affect the frontal lobes.

Primitive reflexes reappear in adults under certain conditions, such as neurological conditions like dementia or traumatic lesions.

Neurological examination may show primitive reflexes (also known as frontal release signs) such as the grasp reflex or the rooting reflex.

The study concluded that high-risk newborns presented more periodic abnormal and absent responses of primitive reflexes, and that each reflex varied in response.

Examples of instinctive behaviors in humans include many of the primitive reflexes, such as rooting and suckling, behaviors which are present in mammals.

Examples of vestigial structures in humans include wisdom teeth, the coccyx, the vermiform appendix, and other behavioural vestiges such as goose bumps and primitive reflexes.

The palmar grasp reflex (sometimes simply called grasp reflex) is among the primitive reflexes and appears at birth and persists until five or six months of age.

Primitive reflexes are reflex actions originating in the central nervous system that are exhibited by normal infants, but not neurologically intact adults, in response to particular stimuli.

As mentioned in the introduction, when primitive reflexes are not being suppressed properly they are generally referred to as frontal release signs (although this may be a misnomer).
