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