there is no such thing as a negative babinski reflex, but a "negative" babinski is a physiological response to a mechanical stimulus of the foot plant.
it is usually called plantar reflex or, flexor plantar response.
this is a test used to determine the continuity of the corticospinal tract, and sould therefore be "negative" in healthy subjects.
infants until 24 months, may show a positive babinski due to the incomplete growth of the cerebrum.
