In Chаpter 2, we tаlked аbоut hоw critical the central nervоus system (CNS) is, going into detail about its two components: the brain and the spinal cord. We went into particular depth about the spinal cord’s two-way system and how the external world is communicated and expressed through action. How does this two-way system operate? Hint: I walked through a scenario a handful of times to illustrate how this two-way system works. That scenario was that you accidentally put your hand on a hot stove. This ultimately leads you to pull your hand immediately (most likely without even thinking, just an automatic response or reflex). The other scenario I used was stepping on a sharp tack, and your foot jerks back automatically. Because this reflex involves only the spinal cord, we jerk our foot (or hand) away before the brain can even create an experience of pain.
