Neurons
Across
- 3. attached to the cell body, they receive neurotransmitters from other neurons
- 6. __________ matter -- the cell bodies of neurons in the brain
- 7. the electrical signal that travels down the axon
- 10. the cells that feed and nourish neurons
- 11. a neurotransmitter that affects mood; too little = depression
- 12. electrical signals travel down this part
- 13. it contains the cells dna
Down
- 1. __________ matter -- the axons covered in myelin
- 2. it protects the axon and speeds up neural impulse
- 3. a neurotransmitter associated with rewards like social media likes
- 4. these parts of the axon hold the neurotransmitters
- 5. a nerve cell, there are a billion in your brain
- 8. the cell body
- 9. the space between neurons (they never touch!)
