Unit 1 Review
Across
- 4. Transfers learning into stored memory.
- 8. Senses of muscle movement, posture, and strain of muscles and joints.
- 9. Increase in the brain activity and alertness, raise energy levels, speed-up body systems and elevate mood.
- 12. Often works with the Hypothalamus. Specifically affects thirst and paternal/maternal behavior.
- 13. Control auditory and linguistic processing and are located on the sides of the brain.
- 15. A small, almond-shaped structure in the brain that plays a key role in processing emotions, motivation, and memory
- 16. Regulates autonomic processes while asleep. Manages your self-awareness and facial expressions.
- 19. Can cause altered states of consciousness, such as changes in thought, mood, and perception.
- 20. Decrease brain activity and alertness, reduces excitability, and relaxes body systems.
- 21. Temporary short sightedness due to use of a psychoactive drug, commonly alcohol.
- 22. The bundle of axons that carries signals from each ear to the brain.
- 25. Small bumps on the tongue that contain taste buds.
- 26. Control visual information processing and are located in the rear of the brain.
- 27. It diagnoses all of our senses and sends to appropriate lobes for processing.
- 30. A network of glands and organs that produce hormones that regulate many bodily functions.
- 31. Characterized by persistent difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or obtaining restful sleep, leading to daytime fatigue and impaired functioning.
- 32. Neurological disorder marked by excessive daytime sleepiness and sudden, irresistible sleep attacks.
- 33. Ability of the brain to rewire itself or modify or create new connections throughout development.
Down
- 1. Occurs when people who have lost limbs report sensation or pain where the limb used to be.
- 2. The lowest part of the brainstem and connects the spinal cord to the brain.
- 3. Provides a detailed picture of brain structure. Measures density of brain material.
- 5. Divided into two hemispheres and includes the limbic system
- 6. Control linguistic processing, higher-order thinking, and executive functioning, especially in the prefrontal cortex.
- 7. Condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep.
- 10. A savory taste that connects with salt.
- 11. Records electrical activity of the brain. Widely used in sleep research.
- 14. Can only show the structure of the brain. Able to detect tumors.
- 17. An area of the brain that produces hormones that control: Body temperature. Heart rate. Hunger. Mood.
- 18. The magnitude of a wave; the primary determinant of loudness.
- 23. Rapid-eye movement sleep.
- 24. Snail-like structure of the inner ear that contains the necessary fluids for hearing.
- 28. Changes in pressure caused when molecules of air or fluid collide with one another and then move apart again.
- 29. Number of cycles per second in a wave; the primary determinant of pitch.
