Down
- 1. Located behind the frontal lobe but still on the top of the brain
- 4. Neurotransmitters linked to pain control and to pleasure
- 5. Structure in the limbic system responsible for directing maintenance activities
- 7. A neurotransmitter that affects mood, hunger, sleep, and arousal
- 8. Rootlike parts of the cell that stretch out from the cell body
- 9. Connects the hindbrain with the midbrain and the forebrain
- 11. An imaging technique that provides very high resolution structural images
