  1. 1. controls body temperature, hunger, parenting/attachment behaviors, thirst, fatigue, sleep, and circadian rhythms
  2. 4. vision
  3. 6. the reticular formation is a set of interconnected nuclei located throughout the brainstem playing a crucial role in maintaining behavioral arousal and consciousness
  4. 8. a set of brain structures (olfactory bulbs, hippocampus, hypothalamus, and amygdala)
  5. 13. the motor cortex is the region of the cerebral cortex involved in the planning, control, and execution of voluntary movements
  6. 14. important roles in the consolidation of information from short-term memory to long-term memory and in spatial memory that enables navigation
  7. 15. sensory: touch and body position
  8. 16. two hemispheres are joined beneath the cortex by the corpus callosum,the cerebral cortex plays a key role in memory, attention, perception, awareness, thought, language, and consciousness
  9. 17. plays an important role in motor control, and it may also be involved in some cognitive functions such as attention and language as well as in regulating fear and pleasure responses, but its movement-related functions are the most solidly established
  10. 18. a large mass of gray matter with several functions such as relaying sensory and motor signals to the cerebral cortex, and the regulation of consciousness, sleep, and alertness
  11. 19. transmits smell information from the nose to the brain and is thus necessary for a proper sense of smell
Down
  1. 2. contains heart and respiratory centers;deals with autonomic functions like breathing, blood pressure, anything with the respiratory and heart centers
  2. 3. middle of the parietal lobe, deals with sensory information (soft, hot, cold, etc.)
  3. 5. deals primarily with sleep, respiration, swallowing, bladder control, hearing, equilibrium, taste, eye movement, facial expressions, facial sensation, and posture
  4. 7. audition(hearing)
  5. 9. speaking, planning, logic, personality, abstract thinking, problem-solving
  6. 10. white matter at the center of the brain connecting the two hemispheres of the cerebral cortex
  7. 11. central trunk of the brain; controls mostly automatic functions
  8. 12. primary role in the processing of memory, decision-making, and emotional reactions, the amygdala are considered part of the limbic system
