Simple Reflexes are made by localized one or two sensory-motor synaptic connections forming a direct action pathway through the spinal cord or brain stem. These motor responses are NOT volitional or determined by MIND decision.

Complex Reflexes are characterized by central processing for intricate motor patterns that includes cerebellar modulation of agonist and antagonist co-contraction producing motor tone. Also these motor responses are automatically initiated in order to fulfill a behavior.
