Nervous system
The nervous system is a network of cells and structures that receive, process and transmit information in the body.
Definition
The nervous system includes the central nervous system, which is the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system, which connects the body to central processing. It is responsible for sensation, movement, regulation of organs, responses to the environment, learning, emotions and behavior. It does not operate separately from the body - it is one of the body's main integration systems.

Practice and life
Pay attention to how sleep, eating, movement and stress affect your attention and emotions. The nervous system operates in a biological context, not in a vacuum.
Common misunderstanding
It is a mistake to treat the psyche as something separate from the nervous system. It is also a mistake to reduce the entire experience only to biology.
