Across
  1. 1. Bone of the middle ear directly communicating with the oval window
  2. 5. Bone of the middle ear directly attached to the tympanic membrane
  3. 8. Part of the brain stem involved in both localization and intersensory interaction
  4. 9. Provides communication between the scala tympani and the middle ear
  5. 10. Firing patterns that most resemble VIII nerve responses
  6. 11. Anterior to Heschl's gyrus
  7. 16. The number of layers of tissue the tympanic membrane is made up of
  8. 17. Resistance to the flow of energy
  9. 19. Part of auditory cortex responsible for primary reception of the auditory signal
  10. 20. Posterior to Heschl's gyrus
Down
  1. 2. Separates the outer and inner hair cells
  2. 3. Frequency of a neuron that is the frequency to which it responds best
  3. 4. The entryway to the cochlea and vestibular system is via this space
  4. 6. Part of the stapes that articulates with the oval window
  5. 7. Primary site of localization of sound in space
  6. 12. Serves the function of sound collection
  7. 13. Permits communication between the scala vestibule and the middle ear space
  8. 14. The membrane that separates the scala vestibuli and the scala media
  9. 15. Part of the outer ear important for the localization of sound in space
  10. 18. Region of the auditory cortex that surrounds the core area for auditory reception
