How does sleep affect your reflexes?

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.


What is reflexes 2 plus?

Name two somatic reflexes in which the higer brain centers participate?

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).

Are reflexes unconditional?

Reflexes can be either unconditional or conditional. Conditional, also referred to as 'Pavlovian', reflexes are those that we can develop. They are weak in humans, but can be observed more readily in other organisms. For more information on these, research Pavlov's dog. Unconditional reflexes are those which are innate - we're born with them. Neurologically speaking these typically do not have any nerves passing through the brain, unlike conditional reflexes in which neurons pass through higher cortical areas of the brain. An example of an unconditional reflex in humans is beginning to salivate when we smell something yummy. This is down to our olfactory tracts, which contain receptors which will stimulate a reflex resulting in secretion from the salivary glands.
