Neuroscience and Biological Foundations
Across
- 7. A subdivision of the peripheral nervous system(PNS) that controls the body's involuntary motor responses
- 9. The pair of lobes that are involved in audition, language comprehension, memory and some emotional control
- 10. The pair of lobes where bodily sensations are received and interpreted
- 11. A long tube structure that conveys impulses away from the neuron's cell body
- 12. Consists of brain and spinal cord
- 15. The study of the relative effects of heredity and the environment on behavior and mental processes
- 19. Layer of fatty insulation wrapped around the axon of some neurons; increases the rate of travel along axon
Down
- 1. A neural impulse that carries information along axon of a neuron;movement is created by charges going in and out of the membrane
- 2. The pair of lobes responsible for vision and visual perception
- 3. A subdivision of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) that connects the central nervous system(CNS) to sensory receptors and controls skeletal muscles
- 4. The collection of upper-brain structures including the thalamus, hypothalamus, limbic system and cerebral cortex
- 5. The pair of lobes that govern motor control, speech production
- 6. Composed of nerves and neurons connecting the CNS to body
- 7. Blocks normal neurotransmitter functions
- 8. The basic building block of the nervous system; they receive, process and transmit messages
- 13. The cutting the corpus callous to separate the two hemispheres of the brain; used to treat severe epilepsy
- 14. Responsible for coordinating movement patterns, sleep and arousal
- 16. Region of brain that includes medulla, pons and cerebellum
- 17. Mimics or enhances a neurotransmitter's effect
- 18. Cell that provides structural, nutritional and other support for the neurons
