  1. 1. the portion of the brain that acts as a control center for recognition and analysis of hunger, thirst, fatigue, anger, and body temperature
  2. 4. an extension of the cell body of a neuron that carries impulses from the environment or from other neurons toward the cell body
  3. 6. part of NS that includes a network of nerves and supporting cells that carries signals into and out of the central nervous system
  4. 7. structure that connects the brain and spinal cord; includes the medulla oblongata and the pons
  5. 9. a neurotransmitter that is associated with the brain's pleasure and reward center
