The term for the electrical signal in a neuron
Cells that process incoming information
A subcortical structure involved in emotion and emotionally charged memories
Toward the front
A dysfunction of movement to command
A dysfunction of language
Cortical area that receives input from a primary sensory cortex and other areas
The division of the peripheral nervous system controlling involuntary functions
The portion of the neuron that sends a signal
Several subcortical structures involved in movement
The structure of the posterior portion of the brain involved in movement
The brain and spinal cord
The major commissure, or tract, that connects the left and right hemispheres of the brain
The covering of the brain

Planning, executing, and inhibiting actions
The portion of the neuron that receives information
The back side
The most anterior lobe of the brain, involved in decision making and multiple functions
Cells in the CNS that perform a number of maintenance and support functions
A wrinkle in the brain tissue
A subcortical brain structure involved in developing new memories
An acceptable range for various bodily states and functions
Chemicals released from glands into the circulatory system to affect behavior
The subcortical structure involved in regulating the pituitary gland
Below
On the side
Describes the situation where the neurons on one side of the brain control the functions on the opposite body side
A system of structures in the brain involved in memory and emotion
Toward the middle or inner portion
Three layers of brain covering: the pia mater, arachnoid, and dura mater
The fatty sheath covering the axon that facilitates neural transmission
The nerve cells in the CNS
The chemicals that are used in neural communication in the CNS
The lobe at the posterior portion of the brain, primarily involved in vision
A division of the autonomic nervous system that is involved in slowing down involuntary processes
The lobe of the brain involved in touch and spatial information
The process of interpreting sensory information
Any nervous tissue outside of the CNS
The master gland in the body
The detection of physical energy and the environment
An indentation in the brain
Above
A division of the autonomic nervous system that speeds up involuntary processes
The space between neurons where neurotransmitters are released
The subcortical structure that acts as a relay station for all sensory information
The process of converting physical energy into neural signals
The belly side
The spaces in the brain and spinal cord filled with cerebral spinal fluid
