the synapses
The Ascending pathways of the central nervous system is made of "White Matter." (Vast amount of Axons coated with a sheath of Myelin)
Afferent pathways communicate sensory information (e.g. pain, cold) from your sensory organs to your central nervous system. Efferent pathways communicate information from your central nervous system to your effector organs (e.g. muscles and glands).
Impulses traveling to the thalamus are afferent. Afferent pathways carry sensory information from the peripheral nervous system to the central nervous system, including the thalamus, for processing. Efferent pathways, on the other hand, carry motor commands from the central nervous system to the peripheral nervous system for action.
the peripheral nervous system
Central nervous system. In fact, the brain is the CENTER of the central nervous system.
The autonomic nervous system is a division of the central nervous system.
The peripheral nervous system is the portion of the nervous system away from the central nervous system. It consists of nerves that connect the central nervous system to the rest of the body, including sensory and motor neurons. The peripheral nervous system is responsible for transmitting information to and from the central nervous system.
The central nervous system is part of the nervous system, but it is only the brain and the spinal cord.

The central nervous system
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.
