Hey guys,

I'm currently trying to gather information for a seminar I have to prepare about the Sucking reflex in babies. I couldn't find much on the net after searching, would any of you have any idea of more info about its pathway etc?

My info till now is that when the palatine of the baby is touched, this elicits a suck response, with the facial nerve involved.

Thanks in advance!
