Incidences of asymmetries for the palmar grasp reflex in neonates and hand preference in adults.
It was hypothesized that adult handedness might be predicted from the neonatal grasp reflex. Grasp reflex was measured from right and left hand (10 trials for each hand) in neonates. According to significance for the difference between the mean grasp reflex strength from the right and left hands, the subjects were designated as right-, left-, and mixed-handers. Adult hand preference was assesse...
متن کاملTestosterone and grasp-reflex differences in human neonates.
According to the Geschwind-Behan-Galaburda (GBG) hypothesis, prenatal testosterone (T) causes a slowing in the development of the left brain with a consequent compensatory growth in the right brain, creating a reverse organisation of the cerebral lateralisation. That is, left- and right-handedness might be associated with high and low prenatal T levels, respectively. To test this hypothesis, th...
متن کاملThe Grasp Reflex and Moro Reflex in Infants: Hierarchy of Primitive Reflex Responses
The plantar grasp reflex is of great clinical significance, especially in terms of the detection of spasticity. The palmar grasp reflex also has diagnostic significance. This grasp reflex of the hands and feet is mediated by a spinal reflex mechanism, which appears to be under the regulatory control of nonprimary motor areas through the spinal interneurons. This reflex in human infants can be r...
متن کاملThoughts About a Visually Guided Grasp Reflex
This paper describes a preliminary attempt to apply organizational principles taken from animal perceptual processes to the problem of providing a robot visual qrasp reflex. The goal is to provide a cheap, rapid mechanism for directinq a hand/arm to grasp one of several arb i t rar i ly shaped objects in the visual scene. A proqram which implements a simple form of such a reflex is described.
متن کاملAssociation of the red reflex in newborns with neonatal variables.
The aim of this study was to investigate the results of the red reflex test and to associate these results with neonatal variables. This descriptive study was conducted with 190 newborns in a public maternity hospital. A total of 187 infants presented no alteration and three presented suspect results. Different shades of reflex color were observed: 50 (26.3%) presented red; 34 (17.9%) orange-re...
