The Nervous System / The Brain

I. INTRODUCTION

The brain is the portion of the central nervous system contained within the skull. The brain is the control center for movement, sleep, hunger, thirst, and virtually every other vital activity necessary to survival. It is important to note that although human emotions—including love, hate, fear, anger, elation, and sadness—can be influenced by the brain, they are ultimately controlled by the mind. The brain and the mind ARE NOT THE SAME. To understand the mind go here. The brain also receives and interprets the countless signals that are sent to it from other parts of the body and from the external environment. The brain allows the body to function as it was designed. You can think of the brain as a computer that controls the body.
