Down: 1) the brain and spinal cord2) all parts of the nervous system outside the brain and spinal cord3) when a neural impulse moves from one neuron to another4) a receiving area for bodily sensations7) a series of synapses that form a network in the brain, connect relatively distant areas of the brain or nervous system8) receive the messages transferred down the axon, store them in their synaptic vesicles, and secrete these transmitter substances9) a computer enhanced three-dimensional representation of the brain or body based on the body's response to a magnetic field11) all areas of the cerebral cortex that are not primarily sensory or motor in function12) the outer layer of the cerebrum (the two large hemispheres that cover the upper part of the brain)15) glands whose secretions pass directly into the bloodstream or lymph system16) a network within the medulla and brain stem; associated with attention, alertness, and some reflexes17) the electric charge of a neuron that's still20) the driving force behind evolution, by which the environment "selects" the fittest organisms; some individuals reproduce more successfully than others, the offspring of some organisms survive in greater numbers than do those of others, individuals that are poorly adapted tend to have fewer offspring, individuals best adapted to the environment have a survival advantage27) a nerve cell that carries motor commands from the CNS to muscles and glands28) repetitive but not spontaneous speaking, responses to simple commands, facial recognition, memory for shapes and music, spatial interpretation, emotional responses, negative emotions31) contain genetic information; each contains numerous genes; occurs in pairs, one from mother one from father; normal human cell has 4632) enables reasoning, planning, creating, and problem solving; top most layer of the brain35) a part of the limbic system associated with storing memories38) fiber that carries information away from the cell body of a neuron39) deoxyribonucleic acid; long complex molecule that encodes genetic characteristics42) the main body of a neuron or other cell44) an area on the brain stem that acts as a bridge between the medulla and other structures Across: 1) a computer enhanced x-ray image of the brain or body5) any chemical released by a neuron that alters activity in other neurons6) the simplest behavior in which a stimulus provokes an autonomic response10) the functional and physical unit of heredity passed from parent to offspring; pieces of DNA, most genes contain information for making a specific protein13) ability of one hemisphere to control specific tasks; related to handedness14) the genes an organism carries18) a brain area associated with movement, the sense of smell, and higher mental functions19) controls heart rate, sleep, sexual responsiveness, stress, vigilance, appetite; problems include high blood pressure and depression; affected by tricyclic antidepressants and beta blockers21) a nerve impulse occurs completely or not22) magnetic resonance imaging that records and makes visible brian activity23) most prevalent inhibitory neurotransmitter in neurons of CNS; problems include anxiety and epilepsy; affected by barbiturates, tranquilizers (ex. valium and librium) and alcohol24) the X or Y determines the gender or an individual; females have two X's; males have an X and a Y; 23rd chromosome pair in a karyotype25) a device that detects, amplifies, and records electrical activity in the brain26) primary excitatory neurotransmitter in CNS, involved in learning and memory; problem can be brain damage after stroke; affected by PCP ("angel dust")29) the system of nerves linking the spinal cord with the body and sense organs30) the part of the autonomic nervous system that alerts or excites the body33) the bundle of fibers connecting the cerebral hemispheres (right and left halves of the cerebrum)34) pleasurable sensations, control of pain; problem can be lowered levels resulting from opiate addiction; affected by opiates such as opium, heroin, morphine, and methadone36) the nerve impulse37) the part of the autonomic nervous system that quiets the body and returns it back to normal40) area of the brain where bodily sensations (touch, temperature, pressure, etc.) register41) the system of nerves carrying information to and from the internal organs and glands43) an individual nerve cell44) a computer generated image of brain activity based on glucose consumption in the brain45) portion of the cerebral cortex where vision registers in the brain46) part of the nervous system, aid neurons by providing nutrition and insulation, structural support, make up myelin sheath, may play an important role in intelligence and effect learning47) the brain's capacity to change its structure and functions48) tiny oval sacs on the axon terminal filled with a chemical transmitter substance
