The brain is responsible for receiving and processing sensory information, making sense out of it, making decisions, and sending commands to the rest of the body. The spinal cord and reflexes play a role in sensory processing and motor control, but the brain is the primary organ responsible for higher-level cognitive functions. Interneurons are neurons that transmit signals between other neurons and do not have a specific role in sensory processing, decision making, or motor control.
