reverse reflex

My comment:

Reference:

"...slight changes in the intensity of a stimulus can often reverse a reflex; a reflex in one part of a body can be altered by the position of other parts; an organism's exposure to certain chemicals such as strychnine can reverse a reflex; "

Quoted from:

I could have been more confident if I could have seen the actual passage in which the term appears.
