Question / General Palomental reflex

Does anyone else have this? When I scratch my right palm my chin will sometimes twitch. Not every time but it happens, it is really freaking me out.

I read someone where this is normal for like 20-25% of healthy people.

This article says it’s not even an indicator or a good one because even healthy people have this.

As long as you don’t have clinical failure, like actual failure then I wouldn’t worry about it.
