摘要：

Flexion reflex responses to innocuous stimulation were examined in 11 human neonates. Reflexes were seen in tibialis anterior at a shorter latency and were larger than in biceps femoris. This may be associated with the positive 'Babinski' sign and, therefore, may reflect immaturity in spinal processing in neonates. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
