Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Higher brain centers can influence spinal reflexes in a series of interactive levels, meaning that they can either facilitate or inhibit reflex activity. Therefore, they are not solely responsible for suppressing or permitting reflexes, but rather work in conjunction with spinal reflexes. It is also not accurate to say that higher brain centers have no effect on reflexes, as they play a significant role in modulating reflex activity. Additionally, training the spinal cord is not a function of higher brain centers.
