Across
  1. 3. Soma integrates and packages the information received by the dendrites. Multiple neurons send information. Sends it down to the Axon
  2. 6. Vesicles that hold neurotransmitters. Releases neurotransmitters into the synapse. Terminal buttons attached to the dendrites of the next neuron
  3. 8. Vision
  4. 9. Emotions
  5. 11. Memory
  6. 13. Stem Houses the nerves responsible for keeping you alive
  7. 16. Regulating body functions
  8. 17. Spatial relations and touch
  9. 19. sends signals and information to your brain
  10. 21. Sheath: Fatty substance. Insulation for the electrical signal (action potential) allows it to be transmitted faster
  11. 22. Responsible for higher-order cognition
  12. 23. largely made up of bell bodies
Down
  1. 1. A gap between two neurons where communication happens in the brain because you can see the exchanges of signals to neurons. Connections to the brain refer to synaptic connection
  2. 2. Faster communication, can communicate across the brain faster
  3. 4. system The “go” system
  4. 5. Motor
  5. 7. Long extension that sticks out from the cell body. Electrical signal being sent is known as action potential
  6. 10. Branch-like structures connected to neurons receive chemical signals known as neurotransmitters. Sends the signals to the cell body - sends signals to neighboring cells
  7. 12. Information that gets sent from your brain back out to your body
  8. 14. sensory gateway
  9. 15. Ganglia Movement and reward
  10. 18. Hearing and memory (Hippocampus)
  11. 20. largely made of myelin
