Abstract
The reliability of primitive reflexes as monitors of dementia, depression, and severity of Parkinson's disease were studied. The results indicated that the proportion of certain reflexes increased with severity of disease and cognitive impairment, but no relationship was seen between any of the reflexes and degree of depression.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
