[Exteroceptive reflex control of the levator palpebrae muscle in man (author's transl)].
Exteroceptive periorbital stimulation is reported to evoke an early and a late bilateral pause in the activity of the m. levator palpebrae. The early levator pause appears at lower threshold than the blink reflex components in the m. orbicularis oculi. It is suggested that antagonistic muscles at papebral level are subjected to a differential exteroceptive reflex control.
