Neural Pathways for Voluntary and Involuntary Responses to Stimuli Are

Question

Neural pathways for voluntary and involuntary responses to stimuli are similar, but not identical.

Accepted Answer

While both types of responses involve neural pathways, there are differences in the pathways and regions of the brain that are activated. Voluntary responses typically involve more conscious decision making and cortical processing, while involuntary responses may be driven by reflexes or more primitive regions of the brain.
