Neuroanatomy Structures
Across
- 2. post-central gyrus
- 3. sulcus separates the frontal and parietal lobes
- 4. visual processing
- 5. atlas of the functional areas of the brain
- 8. composed of the tectum and tegmentum, serves important functions in motor movement
- 11. made up of the brain and spinal cord
- 15. cortex deep in the sylvian fissure (on top of the temporal lobe)
- 16. fissure separates the temporal and parietal lobes
- 18. auditory, language processing (LH), prosody (RH), recognition of faces, objects, memory
- 19. egg-shaped structure in the middle of your brain known as a relay station of all incoming motor (movement) and sensory information
- 21. oblongata part of the brainstem that becomes spinal cord after exiting cranium
- 22. part of the limbic system that regulates body systems
- 24. pre-central gyrus
- 25. part of the brain involved in our behavioral and emotional responses
Down
- 1. fluid that cushions the brain
- 6. triple thin layer of tissue surrounding and protecting the brain
- 7. motor, language processing (LH), higher level recognition
- 9. Ganglia motor control, as well as other roles such as motor learning, executive functions and behaviors, and emotions
- 10. responsible for basic life functions, composed of the medulla oblongata, pons and midbrain
- 12. motor control
- 13. processing somatosensory information from the body; this includes touch, pain, temperature, and the sense of limb position
- 14. nerves extending out from the brainstem and spinal cord, includes all cranial nerves
- 17. part of your brainstem between the midbrain and the medulla oblongata; it handles unconscious processes
- 20. right and left sides of the brain
- 23. collosum white matter that connects the right and left hemispheres
