Introduction

The brain and spinal cord form the central nervous system and involve in controlling all the activities of the body. The brain receives the impulses that are carried by the nerves from different parts of the body, processes those signals, and transmits the impulse according to the information received. This clearly shows that the brain is the information processing and controlling center of the body.
