What is typically observed in terms of deep tendon reflexes in individuals with basal ganglia lesions?

Correct answer is B). Unlike conditions that affect upper motor neurons or the spinal cord, basal ganglia lesions do not typically result in significant changes in deep tendon reflexes. These reflexes, which are mediated by lower motor neurons and the spinal cord, remain within the normal range. Basal ganglia lesions primarily impact motor control, coordination, and the regulation of voluntary movement rather than reflex activity.
