The brain and spinal cord form the centre of your nervous system which acts as a control tower for processing and assimilating information. It acts on the information received, makes decisions and communicates these decisions so we are able to adjust to rapidly changing, external stimuli. Each part of your brain is dedicated to performing a different function. For example, the cerebrum not only processes and stores information, but also assists you in making decisions.

The nervous system is the most important system in the body. It is responsible for all the movements and functions in our bodies including our thoughts. It tells the body what to do and how to work in a co-ordinated manner. The nervous system is a highly complex, integrated system, but for the purpose of the blog, I will try to simplify both form and function in an easy to understand manner.

Learning to understand how your brain and nervous system works will prove to be advantageous in improving all aspects of your everyday living.
