Galant reflex
A neonatal reflex where stroking the skin along one side of the spine causes the trunk to curve toward the stimulated side. Used in neurological examinations of newborns.
During a newborn examination, we check for the presence of the Galant reflex.
The Galant reflex is one of the primitive reflexes that disappears a few months after birth.
