Description
The nervous system is a complex network of cells and tissues that transmits signals between different body parts. The anterior (or front) aspect of the nervous system includes the brain and its associated structures, such as the frontal lobe, which is responsible for higher-level thinking and decision-making, and the olfactory bulb, which processes information related to smell. The optic nerves and optic chiasm, which transmit visual information from the eyes to the brain, are also located in the anterior aspect of the nervous system. In general, the anterior aspect of the nervous system is responsible for a range of functions related to perception, cognition, and motor control.
