Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Many of a newborn's reflexes are inhibited by higher cortical processes as the infant develops and gains greater control over their movements. This is a natural part of neurological development and does not typically indicate neurological damage or deterioration. Neurogenesis and conflict between genotype and phenotype may play a role in some aspects of development, but are not directly related to the disappearance of newborn reflexes.
