As far as I'm aware, not being a biologist, anatomist, psychologist, nor any other -gist, I'd say that the neuron network of the brain performs a possibly pre-determined action with each thought process.
Some neural pathways are preferred due to the individual genetic makeup.
However, each such thought process will change the network, any interaction with the outside world also causes a change to the network. This is what we call learning, or experience.
At a higher abstraction level, thoughts appear random, learning appears faulty, recall appears selective. The individual appears to have choice, based on the inputs from past and present...
Freewill seems likely. But the underlying system must be based on physical laws and must be deterministic.... however complex this system is, however chaotic, however inscrutable...
