The brain is the command center for your body, and the spinal cord is the pathway for messages sent by the brain to the body and from the body to the brain

It connects a large part of the peripheral nervous system to the brain. Information (nerve impulses) reaching the spinal cord through sensory neurons are transmitted up into the brain.
