Hyperactive Moro Reflex
Could someone more knowledgable on this topic please put some information up about 'hyperactive moro reflex' being part of the Finnegan scoring system for Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome? Thanks

What is it?
But what happens when the baby hears loud noise?
 * A startle reflex, but not the Moro reflex.

Is this what happens when we are half asleep and we have that startled jump?


 * A Definition of the Moro reflex includes specific movements of the head, legs and arms, followed by an intake of breath and crying. Being startled cannot be defined so precisely. Oligomous (talk) 23:50, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Fact?
"The origin of this reflex can be found in that fact that primate infants of our ancestors clung to their mother's fur soon after birth..." [emphasis mine]

Is the infantile behaviour of our primate ancestors so conclusively known that it can be stated as a fact? Certainly existing primates exhibit this behaviour and we can infer that our ancestors behaved similarly, but is it known how our ancestors acted? Perhaps this should be reworded or at least a citation should be provided. Clayton Rumley 03:27, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree, and I'm going to change it. - Paul

UCSF Foundations 2, 2019 - Group 5c, Goals
--Storm1625 (talk) 00:30, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Expand on development of Moro reflex
 * Moro reflex in non-human primates
 * Hyperactive Moro reflex: what is it, significance
 * Expand on interpretation of Moro reflex: absence/persistence
 * Expand on history section

Moro reflex in nonhuman primates - many sources online state that nonhuman primates also display the Moro reflex, but difficult to find credible, wikipedia appropriate sources to use. Storm1625 (talk) 20:58, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

UCSF 5B Peer Review

1. Do the group’s edits improve the article as described in the Wikipedia peer review “Guiding framework”? Need more citations!!

2. Has the group achieved its overall goals for improvement?

A. Draft submission reflects a neutral point of view. Well done! Tranhtruong (talk) 21:30, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

B. The sources are all secondary sources and do not include any primary sources! Good job!Kmiller22 (talk) 21:10, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

C. Overall the group's edits are in English that is straight to the point, avoids ambiguity, jargon, or unnecessarily complex wording. The level of vocabulary is more advanced than lay language, but is still consistent with the overall language of the page since it is about neuroscience. Style and formatting is consistent with the rest of the page. Good job!! Kevindichosen1 (talk) 21:11, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

D. Great job! The edits added are clear, concise and show understanding of the cited sources. There is no evidence of plagiarism. -JVIDUYA (talk) 21:42, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

Group 5c, Response
Thanks for the comments. We have added more citations for existing text, and ensured the content matches info we were able to find credible sources for. Storm1625 (talk) 16:59, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

Developing with age and therapy
What are the consequences of not having a developed Moro Reflex as a child/teen or adult? Are there ways to develop this reflex? 75.174.186.6 (talk) 00:12, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
