The Brain and Nervous System considers the brain as the control centre for the body, the site of our thoughts, feelings and memories, and shows how the brain regulates hundreds of body parts and processes. It looks at the network of nerves that branches from the brain and spinal cord and carries messages to all parts of the body. It discusses the effects of damage to the brain and nervous system and examines the importance of sleep in maintaining a healthy body and mind.
