Describe how stimulation of a neuron that has its cell body in thecerebrum can inhibit a reflex that is integrated within the spinal cord.
An individual has a spinal cord injury superior to the area involved in the patellar reflex circuit such that all communication to the brain is broken off. How would this affect the operation of the patellar reflex circuit?
Explain what is meant by a spinal reflex and how they are constructed. , you must have described the direction, named which nerve types are involved, and where the switching between these cells occurs. Please draw, but you must provide sufficient explanation in text so that the image can be understood. Give examples of a specific nerve reflex and describe how it works.

As shown in this video,the indirect pathway is the longer pathway through thesystem that results in decreased activity in the cerebralcortex, and therefore less motor activity. The indirectpathway has an extra couple of connections in it, includingdisinhibition of the subthalamic nucleus.
