A member asked:
Why are reflexes important in determining the health of a newborn's nervous system?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Suggests normalcy!: Checking reflexes in a newborn is an integral part of a newborn examination. Pediatricians on finding reflexes intact become aware that the neurological system is functioning well. Timely disappearances of some reflexes indicate normal maturing of nervous system. Abnormalities of reflexes alert Pediatricians to likely neurological problems which aid in proper diagnoses and care.
