Which one of the following postural reflexes/reaction requires intact coex?

A
Tonic neck reflex
B
Neck righting reflex
C
Magnet reaction
D
Optical righting reflex
High-Yield Explanation
Posture is regulated or acquired by reflex redistribution of tone in various muscle groups. Magnet reaction, also known as positive suppoing reaction, is seen in the spinal animal; Centre - Spinal cord Tonic neck reflex is seen in the decerebrate animal;Center - Vestibular nuclei. Neck righting reflex is seen in the midbrain or thalamic animal. Center - Midbrain nuclei/red nucleus. Optical righting reflex ~ When a person is falling, the surrounding objects will be seen tilted; and, from this visual input the upright posture will be retained. Center - Visual coex. Thus, intact coex is required for this reaction.
