Down: 1) A chemical messenger (neurotransmitter) that controls learning, memory, attention, and arousal3) A neural impulse: a brief electrical charge that travels down an axon.4) A neurotransmitter that decreases the likelihood of a neuron firing5) A cell with the purpose to support, nourish, and protect neurons. May play a role in learning, thinking, and memory6) A neuron's ability to fire or not. It can only fire or not, no in between7) The hunger hormone that controls appetite, mood, memory, and reward.9) An autoimmune disease that affects the neuromuscular system, leading to muscle weakness12) Neurotransmitters that are linked to pain control and pleasure13) A pause in neuronal activity where they don't transmit any signals16) A system that regulates how much of each hormone is released through the bloodstream19) A neuron that transmits signals to muscles, allowing voluntary movement20) The part of a neuron that contains the nucleus22) A chemical alteration in the brain that increases a neurotransmitter's action23) A hormone that controls social bonding, reproduction, and emotional regulation24) A fatty tissue encasing the axons of some neurons enables greater transmission speed.27) A chemical alteration in the brain that inhibits or blocks a neurotransmitter's action28) A chemical messenger (neurotransmitter) that controls alertness and arousal31) The area between the axon tip of a sending neuron and the dendrite of the receiving neuron.34) Branching extensions of a neuron that receive messages35) A hormone that controls the sleep-wake cycle Across: 2) A neuron's communication process8) Chemical messengers that affect other tissues10) A chemical messenger (neurotransmitter) that affects mood, hunger, sleep, and arousal.11) A chemical messenger (neurotransmitter) that influences movement, learning, attention, and emotions14) An amino acid that serves as the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain and a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the spinal cord.15) The level of stimulation needed to trigger a neural impulse.17) A neurotransmitter that increases the likelihood of a neuron firing18) An excitatory neurotransmitter involved in memory21) Controls a reflex allowing for rapid response and conscious thought25) Nerve extensions that pass messages to other neurons to muscles or glands.26) A change in electrical potential makes a cell membrane less negative29) The neural processing that happens during a pause after a neuron has been fired.30) A chemical messenger (neurotransmitter) that controls pain perception and immune responses32) An autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system33) A nerve cell, the fundamental unit of the nervous system.36) A chemical substance that alters the brain37) a neurotransmitter's reabsorption by the sending neuron38) A chemical messenger (neurotransmitter) that regulates body weight and energy balance39) Chemical messengers in the brain
