They are found in the Brain and Spinal Cord. They pretty much are located there because The Spinal cord and Brain are major spots where the nervous system works.

The human brain weighs approximately 3 pounds in a full grown adult.
The nervous system is initially divided into the central nervous system (CNS) (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) (pretty much all nerves and related structures that do not reside in the brain or spinal cord). The PNS is then divided into two two divisions known as the somatic division (voluntary) and the autonomic division (involuntary). The autonomic nervous system is then once more divided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions.

No. The Spinal cord or column should have nature curvatures. Natural curvature occurs at all 5 regions of the spine (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral and coccygeal region). However, too much curvatures can cause problems, such as scoliosis.
Nothing, as it is impossible. Damage to the spinal cord (as opposed to just vertebrae) is irreparable with today's medical technology. This applies to both dogs and people.

Certainly. The human neck is relatively fragile. It doesn't take much to put the twist in the vertebra that will snap the bone and sever the spinal cord.

Spinal cord enlargement, also called acute myelitis, can be caused by an accident or a variety of illnesses, like Multiple Sclerosis. Symptoms of spinal cord enlargement include neck pain, tightness, and loss of feeling in the body. There is not much doctors can do for this condition, besides administering large doses of steroids.
The spinal bones in spina bifida never completely grew entirely around the spinal cord nerve. You don't "get" it, it is a birth defect. The defect can be minor, and not much affect the person's life, or be profound and keep the person in bed with the spinal cord exposed and vulnerable.
There are two the cervical and the lumbar. They are enlarged because the cervical gives rise to nerves in the upper limbs and lumbar in the lower limbs thus they have more nerves running to and from which accounts for the enlargements.
There are two types of spinal cord injuries. Complete spinal cord injuries refer to the types of injuries that result in complete loss of function below the level of the injury, while incomplete spinal cord injuries are those that result in some sensation and feeling below the point of injury. The level and degree of function in incomplete injuries is highly individual, and is dependent upon the way in which the spinal cord has been damaged.http://www.brainandspinalcord.org/spinal-cord-injuries/index.htmlThe prognosis of a particular spinal cord injury varies depending upon where along the spinal column the spinal cord has been injured, the severity of the injury, and which nerve fibers are damaged. As a general rule of thumb, some recovery can be expected within the first six months following injury. After six months, additional recovery is unlikelyhttp://www.brainandspinalcord.org/spinal-cord-injury/index.html A combination of physical therapy, electronic aides, medications, and surgeries can be used to help SCI survivors regain as much function as possible after injury.
