| grasp reflex | An involuntary flexion of the fingers to tactile or tendon stimulation on the palm of the hand, producing an uncontrollable grasp; usually associated with frontal lobe lesions. Compare: darwinian reflex. Synonym: forced grasping reflex, grasp reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chin reflex | A spasmodic contraction of the temporal muscles following a downward tap on the loosely hanging mandible. Synonym: chin jerk, chin reflex, jaw jerk, mandibular reflex, masseter reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| great-toe reflex | <clinical sign> Extension of the great toe and abduction of the other toes instead of the normal flexion reflex to plantar stimulation, considered indicative of pyramidal tract involvement ("positive" Babinski). Synonym: Babinski reflex, Babinski's phenomenon, great-toe reflex, paradoxical extensor reflex, toe phenomenon. (05 Mar 2000) |
| metacarpohypothenar reflex | Flexion of the little finger on tapping the dorsum of the hand; seen in pyramidal tract lesions and is similar to Starling's reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| metacarpothenar reflex | Flexion of the thumb upon tapping the dorsum of the hand. Synonym: metacarpothenar reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Chodzko's reflex | Contractions of several muscles of the shoulder girdle and arm when the manubrium sterni is percussed. (05 Mar 2000) |
| metatarsal reflex | Flexion of the toes on tapping over the cuboid bone; almost identical with Guillain-Barre reflex, and fundamentally similar to Rossolimo's reflex. Synonym: metatarsal reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Guillain-Barre reflex | Plantar flexion of the foot and toes elicited by tapping the sole near its outer edge; has the same significance as the Rossolimo toe flexion reflex Also called Guillain-Barre, Weingrow's, or sole tap reflex. Synonym: Guillain-Barre reflex, sole tap reflex, Weingrow's reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Rossolimo's reflex | Flicking the tops of the toes from the plantar surface causes flexion of the toes; a stretch reflex of the flexors of the toes seen in lesions of the pyramidal tracts. See: Starling's reflex. Synonym: plantar muscle reflex, Rossolimo's sign. (05 Mar 2000) |
| phasic reflex | A coordinated complex response such as the scratch reflex in the spinal animal. (05 Mar 2000) |
