Across
  1. 3. Found as bumps on pons has two inferior colliculi two superior colliculi; reflex centre for vision and hearing
  2. 6. Language comprehension; found in temporal lobe
  3. 8. Third eye; endocrine gland of vertebrate brain; circadian rhythmns
  4. 10. Found on the lower pons appears to promote inspiration by stimulation of the neurons in the medulla oblongata providing a constant stimulus;antagonistic to pneumotaxic
  5. 13. C-shaped arch of white fibers in the brain that acts as the major output tract of the hippocampus.
  6. 14. C shaped area beneath corpus callosum has choroid plexus
  7. 16. cerebellar white matter brings sensory and motor info to and from cerebellum
  8. 17. Visual cortex
  9. 20. situated between the cerebral cortex and the midbrain. Some of its functions are the relaying of sensory and motor signals to the cerebral cortex and the regulation of consciousness, sleep, and alertness.
  10. 21. White matter of 10cm tract that connects left and right hemispheres; found in Placental mammals
  11. 22. Part of limbic system that is responsible for emotions, memory, decision making; two almond shaped structures in temporal lobe
  12. 23. Energy giver of brain
Down
  1. 1. Ridge on cortex
  2. 2. Found in pons region limits the burst of action potentials in the phrenic nerve by decreasing the tidal volume and regulating the respiratory rate
  3. 4. Major macromolecule in brain
  4. 5. Found on the anterior thalamus via the mammillothalamic tract, are important for recollective memory
  5. 7. Also known as aqueduct of Sylvius; connects third and fourth ventricle
  6. 9. A link between the nervous system and endocrine system via the pituitary gland;The hypothalamus controls body temperature, hunger, important aspects of parenting and attachment behaviors, thirst, fatigue, sleep, and circadian rhythms
  7. 11. Brain development is over at this year
  8. 12. Speech area found in the frontal lobe
  9. 15. Part of limbic system responsible for short term long term memory; seahorse shaped
  10. 18. Watery fluid which cushions and protects brain found in subarachnoid space;Choroid plexus produces it
  11. 19. groove on the cortex
