Reflexes Bulbar

Reflexes of the bulbar region of the brain in medical practice are often called “reflexes of the labyrinthine function.” The cortical center that controls this function is located in the posterior frontal lobes, but it is also influenced by the knee reflex and the abdominal muscles.

The cerebellum controls movements of the eyes, ears, and vocal muscles as well as centers that depend on the coordination of action reflexes with other brain areas, including the hypothalamus and the reticular formation of the diencephalon.

This set of connections between the brainstem control center for reflexes encircling the cerebellar connections and the cerebral cortex provides the ability to solve problems, using the feedback of reflex reactions to change the frequency of muscle contractions that support or weaken movements in each part of the body involved in exercise.

Damage to these connections, which is essentially multi-tasking, affects the ability to recognize shape, space and time, which can manifest as difficulty recognizing a shape in a person or an object in the environment and general “mental difficulties” in daily activities. This is explained by the need for the visual-spatial orientation system, which connects the brain with the eyes and limbs of a person, for feedback, which is provided by damage to the reflex of the reflex system.

The interpyramidal nucleus, along with numerous corticospinal connections, plays a key role in many aspects of motor function and is the primary cause of clinically significant damage in patients with Parkinson's disease. Mutant α-synucleoproteins in the interpyramidal nuclei, after increased expression, can lead to disruption of this process. In particular, epileptic generation/manifestation of seizures (as well as in various lesions of cerebral structures) can lead to this.

One of the relatively few neurotransmitters associated with the control of pulse rate is GABA, which is supplied externally by the action of GABA.
