The Brain and Reflex Behaviors The growth of the brain is a lifelong process fundamental to physical‚ cognitive‚ and emotional development. Building of the brain The functions of the brain and the reflexes derive from the central nervous system. The central nervous system is located in the brain and the spinal cord‚ which is a bundle of nerves running through the backbone.
