  1. moro reflex

    The Moro reflex, also known as the startle reflex, is an involuntary motor response that is exhibited by infants, typically from birth to around 3-6 months of age. It is usually triggered by sudden changes in sensory stimuli, such as loud noises, bright lights, or abrupt changes in body position. The reflex involves spreading out the arms, bringing them in, and then often crying. It is one of many reflexes that doctors look for in new borns to assess neurologic function and development.
