What is the role of the brain in reflex action?

solution:
The reflexes which involve only the spinal cord are called spinal reflexes.The spinal reflexes are produced in the spinal cord but the message of reflex action taken also goes to reach the brain where the thinking process occurs. Some reflex arcs involve the brain, rather than the spinal cord only.They are called cerebral reflexes.Closing of eyes, when exposed to flash of light and salivation at the sight of tempting food, are the examples of cerebral reflexes.
