Across
- 4. the bludging brain stem region wedged between the midbrain and medulla
- 5. most inferior part of the brain stem
- 6. elevated ridges of tissue
- 7. consists of bilateral egg-shaped nuclei, which form the superolateral walls of the third ventricle,
- 8. located in the precentral gyrus, allows us to consciously control skilled voluntary movements of our skeletal muscles
- 10. form the superior part of the brain
- 11. located in the superior margin of the temporal lobe, sound energy exciting the hearing receptors of the inner ear causes impulses to be transmitted to this area where they are interpreted as pitch, loudness and location
- 12. mediates emotional response, involved in memory processing
- 13. Invovled with intellect, complex learning abilities, recall and personality It contains, working memory, judgment, reasoning, persistence and planning
- 16. anterior the central sulcus
- 17. located dorsal to the to the pons and medulla, accounts for 11% of the brain, processes information from cerebral motor cortex, proprioceptors and visual equilibrium pathways
Down
- 1. is involved in the retention of visual memories, processing sensory input, comprehending language, storing new memories, emotion, and deriving meaning
- 2. the part of the cortex responsible for conscious awareness of balance, located in the posterior part of the insula and adjacent parietal cortex
- 3. is the visual processing centre
- 4. resides in the postcentral gyrus, allows us to identify spatial discrimination
- 5. located between the diencephalon and pons
- 9. separates the frontal lobe from the parietal lobe
- 11. posterior to the central sulcus
- 13. intergrates sensory information, is positioned superior to the occipital lobe and posterior to the frontal lobe and central sulcus
- 14. lies on the medial aspect of the temporal lobe
- 15. caps the brain stem and forms the inferolateral walls of the third ventricle, "its name describes it position"
