Across
  1. 2. Chemicals released by neurons that cross the synapse to send messages to other neurons.
  2. 4. Specialization of functions in the two hemispheres of the cerebral cortex.
  3. 7. The process of making sense of simultaneous input from more than one modality, or sensory system. _______________ perception
  4. 9. The gaps between neurons, across which chemical messages are sent.
  5. 11. The process of producing images of the structure or activity of the brain or other part of the nervous system by techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging or computerized tomography.
  6. 13. A process in which neurons that are seldom stimulated lose their synapses and are returned to an uncommitted state so they can support future development. synaptic _______
Down
  1. 1. The region of the cerebral cortex, lying in front of areas controlling body movement, that is responsible for thought—in particular, consciousness, inhibition of impulses, integration of information, and memory, reasoning, planning, and problem-solving strategies. ___________________ cortex
  2. 3. The coating of neural fibers with an insulating fatty sheath, called myelin, that improves the efficiency of message transfer.
  3. 5. Test that detects electrical activity in your brain using small, metal discs (electrodes) attached to your scalp.
  4. 6. Capacity of various parts of the brain to take over functions of damaged regions. brain ________________
  5. 8. Experimental apparatus designed to evaluation depth perception.
  6. 9. The formation of connections between neurons.
  7. 10. Nerve cells that store and transmit information.
  8. 12. Cells that help the strengthen the processing of neurons through mylenation and other important taks. ________________ cells
