Across
  1. 3. half of the midbrain tectum that is responsible for aligning visual, auditory, and somatosensory spatial perceptions
  2. 4. gray matter deep in the temporal lobe that is very important for long-term memory formation
  3. 7. nuclei of the cerebrum (with a few components in the upper brain stem and diencephalon) that are responsible for assessing cortical movement commands and comparing them with the general state of the individual through broad modulatory activity of dopamine neurons; largely related to motor functions, as evidenced through the symptoms of Parkinson’s and Huntington’s diseases
  4. 9. region of the frontal lobe associated with the motor commands necessary for speech production and located only in the cerebral hemisphere responsible for language production, which is the left side in approximately 95 percent of the population
  5. 11. nucleus deep in the temporal lobe of the cerebrum that is related to memory and emotional behavior
  6. 12. diffuse region of gray matter throughout the brain stem that regulates sleep, wakefulness, and states of consciousness
  7. 15. tenth cranial nerve; responsible for the autonomic control of organs in the thoracic and upper abdominal cavities
  8. 17. portion of the ventricular system that is in the region of the brain stem and opens into the subarachnoid space through the median and lateral apertures
  9. 18. white matter of the spinal cord that lies between the posterior horns of the gray matter, sometimes referred to as the dorsal column; composed of axons of ascending tracts that carry sensory information up to the brain
  10. 19. region of the adult brain that retains its name from embryonic development and includes the thalamus and hypothalamus
Down
  1. 1. landmark of the cerebral cortex that marks the boundary between the temporal lobe and the frontal and parietal lobes
  2. 2. general senses related to the body, usually thought of as the senses of touch, which would include pain, temperature, and proprioception
  3. 5. gray matter of the spinal cord containing multipolar motor neurons, sometimes referred to as the ventral horn
  4. 6. bundle of spinal nerve roots that descend from the lower spinal cord below the first lumbar vertebra and lie within the vertebral cavity; has the appearance of a horse's tail
  5. 8. specialized structures containing ependymal cells lining blood capillaries that filter blood to produce CSF in the four ventricles of the brain
  6. 10. region of the midbrain, thought of as the floor of the cerebral aqueduct, which continues into the pons and medulla as the floor of the fourth ventricle
  7. 13. primary vesicle of the embryonic brain that does not significantly change through the rest of embryonic development and becomes the midbrain
  8. 14. region of the midbrain, thought of as the roof of the cerebral aqueduct, which is subdivided into the inferior and superior colliculi
  9. 16. general sensory perceptions providing information about location and movement of body parts; the “sense of the self”
