Question

Lesions of the extrapyramidal system typically result in the exaggeration of spinal reflexes, not their elimination, temporary blocking, or causing seizure activity in the cortex. This is because the extrapyramidal system is involved in modulating and inhibiting movements, and damage to it can lead to a lack of inhibition, thus exaggerating reflexes.
