No. While they are both composed of neurons and support cells, they are classified under different branches of the nervous system. The brain is a part of the central nervous system, while the autonomic nervous system is part of the peripheral nervous system.
The nervous system operates on electricity
Nervous system is built for speed, it uses impulses to prod the muscles and glands into immediate action. Whereas, the endocrine uses a chemical messenger called hormones, which is release into the blood to be transported leisurely through out the body.
The messages of the nervous system are relayed by nervous impulses, which are very fast and short-acting. In contrast, the messages of the endocrine system are sent via chemical messengers (hormones) distributed by the circulatory system. This distribution in your blood is much slower than the electrical impulses of the nervous system.

nervous system uses the brain, spinal cord and nerves
The nervous system The central nervous system
No. Nervous System is comprised of the Central Nervous System (CNS) and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) The PNS is comprised of the Somatic Nervous System and the Autonomic Nervous System The Autonomic Nervous System is comprised of the Sympathetic Nervous System, the Parasympathetic Nervous System and the Enteric Nervous System
Electrical impulses of the brain are the nervous impulses that the nervous system uses to control body functions. These impulses may be relayed within the brain, or may be carried to the peripheral nervous system.
The Sympathetic Nervous System and the Parasympathetic Nervous System
The nervous and endocrine systems act, in two different ways, to regulate activities and functions. The nervous system uses nerve impulses while the endocrine system uses hormones to chemically regulate organ systems.
