Reflexes enhance survival chances by being involuntary (freeing the brain for complex tasks), innate (requiring no learning), fast (short arcs with few synapses), and controlling daily functions like posture and digestion.
Los reflejos aumentan las posibilidades de supervivencia al ser involuntarios, permitiendo que el cerebro se concentre en tareas complejas; innatos, no requieren aprendizaje; rápidos, con arcos cortos y pocas sinapsis; y controlan funciones diarias como el equilibrio y la digestión.
