Nervous system

The nervous system coordinates sensation, movement, and cognition, connecting and regulating every part of the body. It consists of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves, along with sensory organs and motor pathways. Electrical signals enable rapid communication and control, integrating with other systems to maintain homeostasis. Processes include thought, memory, reflexes, consciousness, and emotional responses. Conditions affecting neurological function include Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, Alzheimer’s, ADHD and depression. Study of neurobiology explores plasticity, adaptation, and the complexity of signalling networks.
