Brain structures and Function

The corex is the?

• The highly winkled outer layer of the cerebrum and cerebellum, grey matter.

• The oldest part of the brain.

• Composed of two interconnected spheres or lobes and is the seat of higher-level thinking.

• A group of subcortical structures of the brain that are concerned especially with emotion and motivation.

What is the brain stem?

• The space between the nerve cells.

• The oldest part of the brain.

• Composed of two interconnected spheres or lobes and is the seat of higher-level thinking.

• A group of subcortical structures.

What is the Limbic system?

• A group of subcortical structures of the brain that are concerned especially with emotion and motivation.

• The oldest part of the brain.

• Long fibers that send electrical impulses and release neutrotransmitters.

• The space between nerve cells.

What is the cerebral Hemisphere?

• The oldest part of the brain.

• The highly wrinkled outer layer of the cerebrum and cerebellum; grey matter.

• The space between nerve cells.

• The brain is composed of two interconnected spheres or lobes and is the seat of higher-level thinking.

What is the Synapse?

• The oldest part of the brain.

• A group of subcortical structures of the brain that are concerned especially with emotion and motivation.

• The space between nerve cells; the point at which a nervous impulse passes from one neuron to another.

• A Chemical molecule that transmits nerve impulses.

What is the sensory Gating?

• The oldest part of the brain.

• Also called the neuron spike point, regulates the transmission of stimuli to the brain
