Take the 2-minute tour ×  The Wikipedia article on primitive
reflexes, or newborn reflexes, states that they originate in the
CNS. Here's the list of reflexes from the article:    • Moro   •
Walking/stepping   • Rooting   • Sucking   • Tonic neck   •
Palmar grasp   • Plantar   • Galant   • Swimming   • Babkin
Precisely where in the CNS do they originate?  share|improve

think, as many of these are not "reflexes" in the traditional
sense (compared to something like the patellar tendon reflex).
Something like the swimming reflex might be composed of several
spinal pattern generator circuits, which are difficult to
isolate in humans. –  Chuck Sherrington Jul 14 '12 at 20:07 The
plantar is probably a good angle from which to start
investigating these phenomena, as there's plenty of information
about its origins and its manifestation in stroke victims or
other victims of upper motorneuron
