    Introduction: Patients with degenerative neurological diseases involving the basal ganglia may present with functional abnormalities of brainstem reflexes, resulting from disturbed activity of loops between the thalamus and the investigated circuits. The Somatosensory Evoked Blink Reflex is a release phenomenon transmitted via the brainstem reticular formation. This response may be clinically relevant in disorders associated with brainstem lesions. Materials and methods: A total of 54 subjects were included. We performed somatosensory evoked blink response in these patients.
