Across
  1. 1. ...callosum, bands of fibres that connect hemispheres
  2. 3. lobe: responsible for senses, pain, spatial awareness
  3. 4. formation of new memories
  4. 8. neuron:...axon; end of neuron where it connects to the dendrite of the next neuron
  5. 10. regulates bodily functions like hunger, thirst, body temp
  6. 12. neuron:...of ranvier; gaps in the myelin sheath that facilitate the electrical impulse
  7. 13. lobe: visual processing
  8. 14. lobe: processes sound, understanding language, memory
  9. 15. associates emotions with experiences
  10. 17. neuron:...sheath; insulating layer around axon that aids in transmission
  11. 20. most primitive part of the brain, connects to spinal cord
  12. 21. wrinkles
Down
  1. 1. controls balance and fine motor skills
  2. 2. coordinates movement between sides of the body
  3. 5. neuron: control centre; collects and integrates info; stores DNA and other structures
  4. 6. lobe: abstract thought, higher thinking, emotional control, speaking
  5. 7. gateway to the brain for almost all incoming sensory info
  6. 9. ...oblongata: controls blood pressure, heart rate, breathing
  7. 11. somatic motor and cardiovascular control, sleep and arousal
  8. 15. neuron: fiber that transports electrical signal from cell body to axon terminal
  9. 16. neuron: branches that receive info by neurotransmission
  10. 18. outermost layer of the brain
  11. 19. gland: part of the endocrine system
