Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Doll's-eye movements, also known as oculocephalic reflex, is a test to check for brainstem function. In a patient with doll's-eye movements, the eyes appear to move in the direction opposite to the motion of the head, when the head is gently rotated. This reflex is absent in some neurological conditions.
