... The brain carries out most of the functions for the body while the spinal cord acts more like a liaison between the body and the brain. Most information is brought to the brain by moving up the neurons of the spinal cord. The spinal cord does, however, perform many reflex reactions. Both the brain a ...

How Does the Brain Work?
... The brain is a multilayered web of cells: nerve cells (neurons) and vastly more numerous glial cells that stabilize the chemical environment and regulate and protect neurons. The outermost layer, the cerebral cortex, is a fraction of an inch thick but contains 70 percent of all neurons. This most ev ...

Neurolinguistics
Neurolinguistics is the study of the neural mechanisms in the human brain that control the comprehension, production, and acquisition of language. As an interdisciplinary field, neurolinguistics draws methodology and theory from fields such as neuroscience, linguistics, cognitive science, neurobiology, communication disorders, neuropsychology, and computer science. Researchers are drawn to the field from a variety of backgrounds, bringing along a variety of experimental techniques as well as widely varying theoretical perspectives. Much work in neurolinguistics is informed by models in psycholinguistics and theoretical linguistics, and is focused on investigating how the brain can implement the processes that theoretical and psycholinguistics propose are necessary in producing and comprehending language. Neurolinguists study the physiological mechanisms by which the brain processes information related to language, and evaluate linguistic and psycholinguistic theories, using aphasiology, brain imaging, electrophysiology, and computer modeling.
