Across
  1. 3. Two lima bean sized neural clusters in the limbic system linked to emotion
  2. 5. The brain's sensory control center, located on top of brainstem, directs messages to sensory receiving areas in cortex and transmits replies to cerebellum and medulla
  3. 6. The part of the nervous system that controls the skeletal system
  4. 8. A neurotransmitter that influences movement, learning, attention and emotion
  5. 11. A gland that regulates growth and controls other endocrine glands
  6. 14. Bundled axons that form neural cables connecting the nervous systems with muscles, glands, and sense organs
  7. 16. a visual display of brain to see where radioactive form of glucose goes while brain performs a given task
  8. 20. Neurons within the brain and spinal cord that communicate internally and intervene between the sensory outputs and motor inputs
  9. 22. A neuron's branching extension that receives and integrates communications
  10. 24. a technique that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce computer-generated images of soft tissue
  11. 27. A series of xrays taken to see the brains structure
  12. 28. The division of the autonomic nervous system that arouses the body
  13. 30. neural system located below cerebral hemispheres, associated with emotions and drives
  14. 31. The base of brainstem, controls heartbeat and breathing
  15. 32. The neuron extension that passes messages through its branches to other neurons, muscles or tissues
  16. 33. The body's speedy communication network consisting of all the nerve cells of the peripheral and central nervous systems
  17. 35. Cells in the nervous system that support, nourish and protect neurons
  18. 36. An amplified recording of the waves of electrical activity sweeping across the brain's surface, measure with electrodes placed on scalp
  19. 37. A brain imagine technique that measure magnetic fields from the brain's natural electrical activity
  20. 40. Automatic simple response to sensory stimulus ex: knee jerk
  21. 43. Neurons that carry incoming info from sensory receptors to the brain and spinal cord
  22. 44. The "little brain" rear of brainstem, process sensory input coordinating movement output and balance enabling nonverbal learning and memory
  23. 45. chemical messengers that cross the synaptic gap between neurons
  24. 46. A neural structure lying below the thalamus; it directs several maintenance activities (eating, drinking, body temperature), helps govern the endocrine system via the pituitary gland, and is linked to emotion and reward.
  25. 47. A molecule that increases a neurotransmitter's action
Down
  1. 1. The oldest part of central core of the brain, begins where spinal swells as it enters the skull, responsible for automatic survival functions
  2. 2. The level of stimulation required to trigger a neural impulse
  3. 3. The part of the nervous system that controls glands and muscles of the internal organs
  4. 4. The division of the autonomic nervous system that calms the body
  5. 7. A fatty tissue layer segmentally encasing the axons of some neurons
  6. 9. A neurotransmitter that enables muscle action, learning and memory
  7. 10. Basic building block of nervous system
  8. 12. A brief resting pause that occurs after a neuron fires
  9. 13. A neuron's reaction of either firing or not firing
  10. 15. A neurotransmitter that that affects mood, hunger, sleep and arousal
  11. 17. The body's slow chemical communication system; a set of glands that secrete hormones into the bloodstream
  12. 18. A pair of glands that secrete hormones above kidney, help arouse body in times of stress
  13. 19. A neural center located in the limbic system, helps process for storage explicit memories of facts and events
  14. 21. A neurotransmitter's reabsorption by the sending neuron
  15. 23. Neurons that carry outgoing info from the brain and spinal cord to muscles and glands
  16. 25. A technique for revealing bloodflow and therefore brain activity by comparing successive MRI's
  17. 26. The brain and spinal cord
  18. 29. The part of a neuron that contains the nucleus
  19. 34. A nerve network that travels through the brainstem into the thalamus and plays an important role in controlling arousal
  20. 38. The junction between the axon tip of the sending neuron and the dendrite or cell body receiving the neuron
  21. 39. Chemical messengers that are manufactured by the endocrine glands
  22. 41. A molecule that inhibits or blocks a neurotransmitter's action
  23. 42. "Morphine within" natural opiate-like neurotransmitters linked to pain control and pleasure
