Across
  1. 2. callosum connects the two cerebral hemispheres and allow them to communicate.
  2. 4. coordinates information between brain areas, involved in breathing
  3. 6. relay station for sensory impulses and traveling to the sensory cortex
  4. 8. made up of the midbrain, pons and medulla oblongata
  5. 9. these are created by grooves or fissures that divided the cerebral cortex into sections.
  6. 11. balance and equilibrium, makes movements smooth and coordinated.
  7. 14. reflex center for vision and hearing, eye movements

Down
  1. 1. motor function, problem solving memory, language judgment, socially acceptable behavior
  2. 2. largest and most superior part of the brain
  3. 3. maintaining homeostasis, controls emotions and drives hunger and thirst.
  4. 5. contains the pineal gland and choroid plexus which forms the cerebrospinal fluid.
  5. 7. cortex responsible for thinking and processing information
  6. 10. visual processing center
  7. 12. processes sensory information
