Reply to comment by Lithuim in Eli5: what does the brain control in the body? by Parking_Tale7916

Reflexes are controlled by local nerves and muscles. Some biochemistry is controlled by hormones made by glands, which affect how cells behave. Some is controlled only by the cells themselves.

Instincts, emotions, thoughts, memory, muscle memory, all voluntary movement is controlled by the brain.
