What is the thick column of nerve tissue that links the brain to the peripheral nervous system? The Spinal Cord is the thick column of nerve tissue that links the  brain to most of the nerves. Making the world better, one answer at a time.
This part of the central nervous system is suspended in the spinal column and surrounded by the meninges and cerebrospinal fluid. The spinal cord extends from the brain (medulla oblongata) and begins at the occipital bone, extending from the upper border of the atlas to the lower border of the 1st lumbar vertebra. It is about 45 cm (18 in) in adult males and around 43 cm (17 in) long in adult females.
