INTERSEGMENTAL ARC REFLEX

Intersegmental Arc Reflex: Overview and Definition The Intersegmental Arc Reflex (IAR) represents a fundamental and complex neural circuit integral to the maintenance of postural control, dynamic balance, and efficient locomotion in vertebrates. Far surpassing the simplicity of basic monosynaptic reflexes, the IAR involves multi-level integration within the central nervous system, effectively linking different segments of […]
