متن کاملEffect of diabetes on some primitive reflexes.
Primitive reflexes (PRs) are present in newborns; they disappear as the brain matures and increase in frequency in healthy elderly individuals. Primitive reflexes are more frequent in some neurological disorders than in age-matched controls. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of diabetes on some PRs. We examined three PRs (glabellar tap, snout and palmomental reflexes) in 376 s...
