Final answer:
Neonates can engage in reflexes due to myelination of motor pathways.
Step-by-step explanation:
Myelination of motor pathways allows neonates to engage in A. reflexes. Reflexes are automatic responses to specific stimuli that all healthy babies are born with. These reflexes help them survive and develop motor skills. For example, the sucking reflex allows them to extract milk from the nipple, and the rooting reflex helps them find the nipple through touch.
