Neuroscience perspective · Brain causes behavior

This view supports the idea that human action isn't a product of free will.

Other perspective · Free will is compatible with determinism

Determinism is the name for the view that human action isn't a product of free will.

Elaborate on other perspective · Difference between free actions and constrained actions.

Free actions are caused by things internal to a human (like will). These actions involved a choice between A or B. Constrained actions, including mental disorders, involve external forces that preclude someone from a choice. The person could only choose A.
