Across
- 1. The cranial nerve, located on the brainstem, responsible for innervating the lateral rectus muscle
- 3. Structure located in the diencephalon that is responsible for maintaining homeostasis in the body
- 5. Paired lobes, located posterior to the central sulcus, containing the primary sensory cortex & is responsible for most sensory processing
- 8. Structure located in the diencephalon where most sensory information synapses before being relayed to another area of the brain for processing.
- 9. The groove running in the frontal plane that separates the frontal and parietal lobes
- 10. The most anterior lobe responsible for controlling higher level executive functioning like planning, decision making, and problem solving
Down
- 2. The structure deep in the center of the brain that is responsible for connecting the two hemispheres of the brain, allowing for information sharing and coordination
- 4. The lobe, located in the most posterior section of the cerebellum, responsible for visual processing
- 6. The lobe located on the lateral sides of the brain that is responsible for language & auditory processing
- 7. The limbic system structure, located in the temporal lobe, responsible for connecting the hippocampus to more centralized structures
