Abstract
The reflex is considered a simple automatic reaction mechanism of the nervous system. Research that started in the previous century showed its premotor circuitry to be far more extended than expected. Brainstem reticular formation plays an important role in the transfer from the afferent reflex leg towards the efferent reflex leg in head and neck reflexes. Moreover, the divergent areas provided for by head and neck reflexes extend the proper head and neck area. German research on the diencephalic influence on these reflexes has been restricted incorporated in the head and neck reflexes in the literature.
