What is the role of the brain in reflex action?

Reflex action is not only due to the function of  spinal cord only. Brain is the coordinating centre of the body. Since neuronal connections are concentrated in the brain, the information from the reflex arc (the bundle of nerves from all over the body in the spinal cord) is sent to the brain and the brain processes the information.
