Abstract
Neural reflexes are the building blocks for the diagnosis of dysfunction in the CNS. This article describes the basis of neural connection underlying the control of posture, the autonomic nervous system, monosynaptic stretch reflexes, and polysynaptic motor reflexes. Central motor control and descending motor pathways are also summarized. The relevance of these reflexes to anaesthesia and sedation is highlighted where appropriate.
