The brain is the main organ of the nervous system and the center for processing information. Together with the spinal cord, it forms the central nervous system. The brain combines sensory information and directs motor responses to produce coordinated movement. It also regulates automatic processes, including breathing and heart rate, and supports learning, memory, language, emotion, and decision-making.
