Why do more complex reflexs have slower response times?
Reflexes are automatic, involuntary responses or impulses. Most reflexes do not involve the brain, however, more complex reflexes have to involve the brain in order to process the reflexes. An example of this would be blinking the eye. This is a complex reflex and it must involve the brain. Also, you must take in the place the reason why reflexes do not involve the brain: because it could cause serious damage to the body. Complex reflexes will not cause serious damage if it uses to brain to produce the impulse.
What types of brain damage are there?
Brain damage may occur due to a wide range of conditions, illnesses, injuries, and as a result of iatrogenesis. Possible causes of widespread (diffuse) brain damage include prolonged hypoxia (shortage of oxygen), poisoning by teratogens (including alcohol), infection, and neurological illness. Chemotherapy can cause brain damage to the neural stem cells and oligodendrocyte cells that produce myelin. Common causes of focal or localized brain damage are physical trauma (traumatic brain injury), stroke, aneurysm, surgery, neurological illness, and heavy metals poisoning including by Mercury and its compounds and lead.

What are the benefits of taking fever reducing drugs?
It depends on what the situation is. It has long been believed that high fevers can cause brain damage, especially if left untreated. A fever is just a symptom of illness, not an illness itself. When an otherwise healthy person has a fever because of an illness, it is extremely unlikely to cause brain damage. Even febrile seizures, which occur in children, do not cause any permanent damage. The time to be concerned about a high fever is when it is not caused by an illness, but because of overheating. This is actually heat stroke (hyperthermia), which is completely different than a fever. Brain and organ damage usually occur because of hyperthermia. This when it is best to use a fever reducing drug.
