Across
  1. 6. somatosensory, perception, language, math
  2. 8. an extracellular space between a neuron and the next cell; outside of the cell membrane
  3. 10. a cellular protein that binds specifically one type of neurotransmitter
  4. 11. where in the neuron can a graded potential be generated?
  5. 12. gray and white matter for synapsing or information transfer, respectively
  6. 15. unconscious somatic motor control to smooth, refine, coordinate movement
  7. 16. deep valley between cerebrum and cerebellum
  8. 18. white matter track way between cerebral hemispheres, carries information between halves of cerebrum
  9. 20. structure that is part glandular to release many hormones and part neuroendocrine
  10. 23. contains CSF; continuous with central canal of spinal cord
  11. 24. involved in unconscious motor control, reflex synapsing
  12. 26. chemical released by neuron for the purpose of signaling to the next cell
  13. 28. contains CSF in subarachniod space; provides route for blood vessels
  14. 30. produces the hormone melatonin
  15. 31. division between frontal and parietal lobes
  16. 32. contains CSF (between two halves of thalamus)
  17. 35. smallest-diameter axon
  18. 36. deep valley between cerebral hemispheres
  19. 39. contain CSF
  20. 41. white matter within the cerebellum
  21. 42. a type of junction between two adjacent cells that forms a continuous tunnel between adjacent cells
  22. 43. the "bridge" that contains white matter track ways connecting cerebrum with cerebellum, spinal cord. vegetative funcitions.
  23. 44. type of ion channel that generates a graded potential
  24. 46. grey matter region with many functions including master control of endocrine system, autonomic nervous system, emotions, body temp, etc.
  25. 47. shallow valley between ridges
Down
  1. 1. extracellular or intracellular chemicals or events that provoke repsonses in cells (can in internal or external)
  2. 2. vision perception
  3. 3. deepest meninx, outermost limit of brain/spinal cord
  4. 4. grey matter relay station for ascending sensory or descending motor information
  5. 5. shallow valley between temporal and frontal/parietal lobes
  6. 7. largest-diameter axon
  7. 9. gray matter "bark"
  8. 13. the measure of the transmembrane potential of a resting cell (cell that is neither sending or receiving a signal)
  9. 14. strictly vegetative functions
  10. 17. site of communication between two cells
  11. 19. somatic motor control primary cortex
  12. 21. division between left and right lateral ventricles
  13. 22. toughest part of meninges-anchor/protect
  14. 25. seat of personality, judgement, reasoning, somatic motor control, some olfactory perception
  15. 27. structure of a neuron where action potentials are first triggered
  16. 29. stalk of axons that connects pituitary to hypothalamus
  17. 33. produces CSF from capillary/ependymal cells
  18. 34. somatosensory primary cortex
  19. 37. ridges that increase surface area available for neurons
  20. 38. surround and protect brain
  21. 40. hearing perception, facial recognition, some olfactory perception
  22. 45. this structure harbors the same functions as the cerebellar hemispheres
