The brain and spinal cord are both encased in a protective layer called the meninges. The consist of three layers, the dura mater on the outside, the arachnoid mater in the middle, and the pia mater on the inside closest to the brain and spinal cord.
I prefer to think of the spinal cord as the brain with a different name because it essentially is the same tissue with the same function, only its location is different.
