These reflexes are believed to be "hard-wired" before birth, and are therefore able to be elicited in the newborn. As the brain matures, certain areas (usually within the frontal lobes) exert an inhibitory effect, thus causing the reflex to disappear. When disease processes disrupt these inhibitory pathways, the reflex is "released" from ...

The reflex is common in the elderly population and should not be taken as indicative of a dementing process. [1]

Periroral reflex: when a finger is placed at the angle of the mouth and struck, or the nasolabial fold is stroked, mouth closure is induced via CN VII [1] Pharyngeal reflex — also known as the gag reflex.
