Across
- 2. consists of the cerebral cortex, thalamus, and hypothalamus; manages complex cognitive activities
- 4. consists of the medulla, pons, and cerebellum; directs essential survival functons, such as breathing, sleeping, and wakefulness, as well as coordination and balance
- 6. a limbic system neural structure lying below the thalamus; it directs several maintenance activities like eating, drinking, and body temperature
- 7. two lima-bean-sized neural clusters in the limbic system;linked to emotion
- 10. neuron extension that receives and integrates messages
- 11. found atop the brainstem; connects the hindbrain with the forebrain, controls Some motor movement, and transmits auditory and visual information
- 12. the forebrain's sensory control center, located on top of the brainstem
- 13. the junction between the axon tip of the sending neuron or dendrite.
Down
- 1. a neural center in the limbic system that helps process explicit (conscious) memories- of facts and events- for storage
- 3. the hindbrain structure that is the brainstem's base; controls arousal
- 5. a fatty tissue layer encasing axons
- 8. the central core the spinal cord swells as it
- 9. a nerve cell
- 14. the segmented neuron extension that passes messages to other neurons
