What respond to a stimulus that does not involve the brain?
It is called a reflex and does not involve the brain, but instead, the spinal cord. So, in effect, the spinal cord can also 'think' and process information, though not quite the level of complexity as the brain, especially the cerebral cortex. But, that is a good thing. If I touch a hot stove, my spinal cord will send out a signal to pull my hand off well before my 'brain' feels the heat. There is a lot of survival value to reflex arcs that are essential to survival that do not include the brain.
