START WITH THE BASICS

Your Nervous System Connects Your Entire Body

The nervous system helps control movement, sensation, memory, communication, sleep, stress responses, pain, and many automatic functions throughout the body.

Understanding how these systems work together can make it easier to recognize everyday factors that influence neurological wellness and know when changes deserve professional medical attention.

THE NERVOUS SYSTEM

Three Areas Working Together

The brain, spinal cord, and nerves constantly exchange information throughout the body.

01

Brain

The brain helps process sensory information, coordinate movement, regulate emotions, support memory, and control many essential body functions.

02

Spinal Cord

The spinal cord carries signals between the brain and body and plays a central role in movement, sensation, and reflexes.

03

Peripheral Nerves

Peripheral nerves connect the brain and spinal cord to muscles, skin, organs, and other parts of the body.
