Brain and nervous system
From DrKoop's partner site on chronic pain, ChronicPainConnection.com

Motor, sensory cognitive and autonomic function are all coordinated and driven by the brain and nerves. As people age, nerve cells deteriorated in number and facility, causing some lessening in function.
