The rest of the nervous system follows the instructions of the main part that makes the decisions. The main part is the brain, spinal cord, and other interneurons. The rest of the nervous system is called the peripheral nervous system and it mainly receives stimuli with sensory neurons, and sends signals for movement with motor neurons.

The brain is the most important and central organ of the entire nervous system.

Analogous to a computer system, the brain would be the central processing unit.
