They both effect the brain.
I believe you may be asking about the Babinski reflex. The Babinski reflex is a normal reflex for the first year or so of life, when the brain is not fully myelinated. It is an upward extension of the big toe and a fanning out of the remainder of the toes. As was mentioned earlier, this reflex normally goes away by the first year of life and when one tries to elicit the response after it goes away, one should see a downward flexion of the toes. In stroke (or spinal cord injury) involving the leg, the Babinski reflex may come back. This is a sign of upper motor neuron injury. The injury can be anywhere from the cerebral cortex to the spinal cord, so a Babinski reflex by itself does not signify stroke.
It appears that there is a typo in the question—there is no clear meaning for "reflexes 2 plus." Reflexes are automatic responses to stimuli, and the number "2 plus" typically refers to addition. If you have a specific question or context, please provide more information.
The Human Reflex Physiology Review Sheet states that "Conversely, other reflexes require the involvement of the brain, since many different inputs must be evaluated before the appropriate reflex is determined. Superficial cord reflexes and pupillary responses to light are in this category" (p. 342).
Although sleep is not fully understood by scientists, their is evidence of sleep deprivation affecting reflex reaction time. Sleep deprivation affects the cortical responsiveness to incoming stimuli and also causes an increase in the levels of adenosine which is a neuromodulator and has a general inhibitory effect on neural activity. Thus due to the increase in adenosine, the neural activity and response time is greatly affected due to lack of sleep.
I believe a short reflex is when one is partially aroused, as during a bumpy car ride or Kate Winslet's nude scene in Titanic. A long reflex is when the member becomes fully hugified, as during any Paul Walker movie.
Other primitive reflexes in newborns include the moro (startle) reflex, sucking reflex, rooting reflex, and Babinski reflex. These reflexes are integral for survival and neurological development in a newborn baby.
The CNS has INHIBITORY effects on muscles. Loss of this inhibition from an UMN lesion leads to increased muscle activity (spastic paralysis and a + babinski).

Physical findings include reduced muscle girth (width around the arm or leg) and decreased strength in the affected limb. Tendon reflexes tend to be normal or sluggish.
Your gag reflexes should not be affected by having your tonsils removed.

· Increased tone in anti-gravity muscles · No muscle wasting · Paralysis of voluntary movements · Absent abdominal reflex · Babinski's Sign - plantar reflex · Deep tendon reflexes brisk, exaggerated/sustained clonus
Downgoing plantar reflexes, also known as a normal adult response to the Babinski sign, is characterized by the toes curling downwards when the sole of the foot is stimulated. This is a normal response in adults and indicates a properly functioning nervous system. If the toes fan upwards instead of curling downwards, it may indicate an underlying neurological issue.
Methods that can be used to monitor a child's development is to see how the child's refelxes are. Here are the reflexes you can look for from the point of which your child is born on; Babinski, Blink, Moro, Palmar, Rooting, Sucking, Stepping, and withdrawl.
"Reflexes 2" or "reflexes +2" indicates normal reflexes.
The paralysis involves limpness and rapid wasting of the affected muscles. Tendon reflexes might be affected, depending on the severity and extent of muscular paralysis and wasting.
The ciliospinal reflex and the pupillary light reflex are classified as autonomic reflexes.
