The Snout reflex (also orbicularis oris reflex [1]) or a "Pout" is a pouting or pursing of the lips that is elicited by light tapping of the closed lips near the midline. The contraction of the muscles causes the mouth to resemble a snout. This reflex is tested in a neurological exam and if present, is a sign of brain damage or dysfunction
Primitive reflexes are reflex actions originating in the central nervous system that are exhibited by normal infants, but not neurologically intact adults, in response to particular stimuli. These reflexes are suppressed by the development of the frontal lobes as a child transitions normally into child development . [ 1 ]
Palmomental reflex: stroking on the thenar eminence of the hand causes contraction of mentalis muscles of the chin. Rooting reflex: Baby finds breast to suckle. Sucking reflex: Baby sucks breast / bottle / teat to get milk. Snout reflex: Involved in suckling. Glabellar reflex: May protect eyes in certain situations.
Palmar grasp reflex — in infants up to six months of age, a closing of the hand in response to an object being placed in it. Periroral reflex: when a finger is placed at the angle of the mouth and struck, or the nasolabial fold is stroked, mouth closure is induced via CN VII [1] Pharyngeal reflex — also known as the gag reflex.
Right from birth infants are able to differentiate the self from the non-self. A study using the infant rooting reflex found that infants rooted significantly less from self-stimulation, contrary to when the stimulation came from the experimenter. [50] Stage 2 – Situation (by 2 months)
The snout, found at The Children's Museum's Wyoming dig site, is almost totally intact — and paleontologists are calling it a rare find. The snout, found at The Children's Museum's Wyoming dig ...

This reflex involves apnea (loss of drive to breathe), slowed heart rate (reflex bradycardia), and reduced blood circulation to the extremities such as fingers and toes (peripheral vasoconstriction). [1] During the diving reflex, the infant's heart rate decreases by an average of 20%. [1]
