The gray matter is the center for simple reflex activity.
the spinal cord
The knee-jerk reflex is a type of stretch reflex, which is a type of spinal reflex. It involves the stimulation of sensory neurons in the muscle spindles of the quadriceps muscle, leading to a quick contraction of the muscle in response to a sudden stretch.

Reflex responses are controlled in your spinal chord, not in your brain (;- your welcome

The primary reflex center for the body is the spinal cord. It coordinates reflex actions in response to stimuli without involving the brain, allowing for quick and automatic responses to potential threats or dangers.
sacral segments of the spinal cord
Spinal reflex therapy is a neurological soft tissue procedure that gets powerful and reliable results. You can learn more at Spinal Reflex Institute's website.
The spinal cord is responsible for integrating simple responses to stimuli, such as the patellar reflex. In the case of the patellar reflex, the sensory neurons in the knee send signals to the spinal cord, where motor neurons are activated to produce the reflexive response of leg extension. This integration occurs without involving the brain, allowing for a quick and automatic response.
spinal cord
Simple spinal reflex is when the afferent receptor synapses directly with an efferent neuron and subsequently an effector cell/tissue. This will all take place in the spinal cord. A complex reaction will involve an intermediary interneuron or even the brain for 'processing' before synapsing with an efferent neuron and target tissue.
