Brain stem
The part of the brain that connects the spinal cord is called the brain stem.
There is no joint between brain and spinal cord. The spinal cord is a mass of neurones that is situated in the backbone which feeds in to the brain via neurones.
The brain stem connects the brain to the spinal cord, so that the brain can send messages through the cord to the rest of the body. The functioning of the body is severely compromised if the spinal cord connections are severed.
The brain stem is what connects the spinal cord to the rest of the brain. More specifically, the medulla oblongota is what directly connects it.
The bundle of nerves that connects the brain to the rest of the body is the spinal cord.
The spinal cord is attached to the brain stem located at the base of the brain. This stem is connected to the cerebellum.
