  1. 4. The process where the cerebral cortex folds into gyri and sulci
  2. 5. The ability of neural networks in the brain to change through growth and reorganization
  3. 9. The darker tissue of the brain and spinal cord, consisting mainly of nerve cell bodies and branching dendrites.

  1. 1. The capacity to perform various mental activities
  2. 2. The measure of a person's cognitive abilities
  3. 3. Branch-like extensions of a neuron that receive signals from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body
  4. 6. The grooves or indentations between the gyri on the brain's surface
  5. 7. The branching pattern of nerve fibers often describes the complex branching structure of neurons in the brain
  6. 8. The raised folds or ridges on the surface of the brain that increase the surface area of the brain, allowing for more neural connections and higher cognitive processing
