Neurology and Free Will

Neurology is the study of the nervous system, including the brain, which governs our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. The debate between free will and determinism questions whether our choices are truly free or predetermined by brain activity and external factors. Determinism suggests that every action has a cause, potentially undermining the concept of free will. However, some argue that our awareness and ability to reflect on choices indicate a degree of freedom. Understanding this intersection invites exploration of how our neurological processes influence decision-making while considering the philosophical implications of personal agency and accountability.
