"The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord .
The brain plays a central role in the control of most bodily functions, including awareness, movements, sensations, thoughts, speech, and memory. Some reflex movements can occur via spinal cord pathways without the participation of brain structures.
The spinal cord is connected to a section of the brain called the brainstem and runs through the spinal canal. Cranial nerves exit the brainstem. Nerve roots exit the spinal cord to both sides of the body. The spinal cord carries signals (messages) back and forth between the brain and the peripheral nerves.
Cerebrospinal fluid surrounds the brain and the spinal cord and also circulates within the cavities (called ventricles) of the central nervous system. The leptomeninges surround the brain and the spinal cord. The cerebrospinal fluid circulates between 2 meningeal layers called the pia matter and the arachnoid (or pia-arachnoid membranes). The outer, thicker layer serves the role of a protective shield and is called the dura matter.
The basic unit of the central nervous system is the neuron (nerve cell). Billions of neurons allow the different parts of the body to communicate with each other via the brain and the spinal cord. A fatty material called myelin coats nerve cells to insulate them and to allow nerves to communicate quickly."

心理学是一门研究人类及动物的心理现象、精神功能和行为的科学，既是一门理论学科也是一门应用学科，包括理论心理学与应用心理学两大领域。 心理学研究涉及知觉、认知、情绪、人格、行为、人际关系、社会关系等许多领域，也与日常生活的许多领域——家庭、教育、健康、社会等发生关联。心理学一方面尝试用大脑运作来解释个体基本的行为与心理机能，同时，心理学也尝试解释个体心理机能在社会行为与社会动力中的角色；同时它也与神经科学、医学、生物学等科学有关，因为这些科学所探讨的生理作用会影响个体的心智。
