This assumption weakens the position of thereflexarcas the basic functional unit of nervous activities.

Combining anatomical and physiological methods, he made pioneering studies on the vestibulo-ocularreflexarc, then worked on the functional anatomy of the spinal cord, brainstem, and cerebellum.

Diminished reflexes are largely due to dysfunction of the afferent limb of thereflexarc.

Rather, a given parameter setting, together with external influences and perhaps the operation of reflex arcs, determines what the body does.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The absence of this reflex indicates that there is an interruption of thereflexarc, which may be in the sensory afferent limb or the motor efferent limb.

This reflex may also be impaired by damage to the internal branch of the superior laryngeal nerve which relays the afferent branch of thereflexarc.

The formation of interacting reflex arcs cannot be conceived without the genomic determination of "correct" neuronal interconnections, and genetic determination leaves a very narrow margin for selforganisation.
