  5. 11. connects two brain hemispheres. cutting it= lobotomy
  6. 14. A nerve network in the brainstem that plays an important role in controlling arousal
  7. 16. a neural center located in the limbic system that helps process explicit memories for storage

  10. 19. movement, orientation, recognition
  11. 20. hearing center located in temporal lobe
Down
  1. 1. controls language reception - a brain area involved in language comprehension and expression
  2. 3. Underneath the limbic system, responsible for vital life functions
  3. 4. Outer layer of the brain, thinking, organizing, and creative center
  4. 6. vital body functions (breathing, heart rate)
  5. 7. Area of the brain responsible for the initial conscious registration of visual information; the designation of electric (nerve) impulses from the retina
  6. 8. a basal part of the diencephalon governing autonomic nervous system (heart, lungs, etc.)
  7. 12. A brain area at the front of the parietal lobes that registers and processes body sensations
  8. 13. controls language expression-area of the frontal lobe in left hemisphere that directs muscle movements involved in speech
  9. 15. motor control, sensory analysis
