The nervous system has two major parts: the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Today we will cover the Central Nervous System: THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM: The central nervous system is comprised of the brain and spinal cord. The CNS receives sensory information from the nervous system and controls the body's responses. The CNS is differentiated from the peripheral nervous system, which involves all of the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord that carry messages to the CNS. The central nervous system plays a primary role in receiving information from various areas of the body and then coordinating this activity to produce the body's responses.1 Central Nervous System Structure The CNS has three main components: the brain, the spinal cord, and the neurons (or nerve cells). The Brain The brain controls many of the body's functions including sensation, thought, movement, awareness, and memory. The surface of the brain is known as the cerebral cortex. The surface of the cortex appears bumpy thanks to the grooves and folds of the tissue. Each groove is known as a sulcus, while each bump is known as a gyrus. Cerebrum: The largest part of the brain is known as the cerebrum and is responsible for things such as memory, speech, voluntary behaviours, and thought.1 The cerebrum is divided into two hemispheres, a right hemisphere, and a left hemisphere. The brain's right hemisphere controls movements on the body's left side, while the left hemisphere controls movements on the body's right side. Each hemisphere of the brain is then divided into four interconnected lobes: Frontal lobe: The frontal lobes are the largest of the lobes. As indicated by their name, they’re located in the front part of the brain. They coordinates high-level behaviors, such as thinking, planning, reasoning motor skills, problem solving, judgment, higher cognition, voluntary movements, language and attention. The frontal lobes also manage emotions and impulse control. Additionally, it plays a role in self-awareness and emotional regulation. As you can imagine, this part of the brain is racing when you encounter a dilemma or when you feel self conscious about something. However, during yoga, your frontal lobe goes on vacation. Thus, allowing you to take a break for a while. Parietal lobes. The parietal lobes are located behind the frontal lobes. They’re involved in organizing and interpreting sensory information from other parts of the brain. This part of the brain handles all the information coming from your senses. It takes in the sights, sounds, and everything else you observe around you. As such, when you’re always on the move, working, driving or observing things, you can imagine how much activity is going on here. Yoga likewise causes your parietal lobe to slow down. Temporal lobes. The temporal lobes are located on either side of the head on the same level as the ears. They coordinate specific functions, including visual memory (such as facial recognition), verbal memory (such as understanding language), and interpreting the emotions and reactions of others. Occipital lobes. The occipital lobes are located in the back of the brain. They’re heavily involved in the ability to read and recognize printed words, along with other aspects of vision. Cerebellum The cerebellum is located in the back of the brain, just below the occipital lobes. It’s involved with fine motor skills, which refers to the coordination of smaller, or finer, movements, especially those involving the hands and feet. It also helps the body maintain its posture, equilibrium, and balance. Spinal Cord The spinal cord connects to the brain via the brain stem and then runs down through the spinal canal, located inside the vertebra. The spinal cord carries information from various parts of the body to and from the brain. In the case of some reflex movements, responses are controlled by spinal pathways without involvement from the brain.
