mitocondrion
A.
the main band of axons that connects the two cerebral hemispheres.
B.
a neuron that is directly affected by changes in the environment, such as light, odor or touch.
C.
a cone-shaped area from which the axon originates out of the cell body.
D.
an enzyme found in horseradish and other plants that is used to determine the cells of origin of a particular set of axons.
E.
the study of the bioloical bases of psychological processes and behaviors.
F.
a cellular location at which information is transmitted from one neuron to another.
G.
the part of the neuron that initiates nerve activity if the sum of all inhibitory and excitatory post synaptic potentials exceeds a threshold value. Usually corresponds to the neuron's axon hillock.
H.
a cellular organelle that provides metabolic energy for the cell's processes.
I.
a brance of an axon from a single neuron.
J.
also a synaptic transmitter, chemical transmitter or transmitter, the chemical released from the presynaptic axon terminal, that serves as the basis of communication between neurons.
K.
an approach to finding relations between body variables and behavioral variables that involves invtervening in the behavior of an organism and looking for resultant changes in body structure or function.
L.
the brain regions that surround the third ventricle.
M.
the dorsal portion of the midbrain, including the inferior and superior colliculi.
N.
collections of nerve cell bodies, belonging to the autonomic division of the peripheral nervous system, that are found in various locations and innervate the major organs.
O.
part of the diencephalon, lying ventral to the thalamus.
P.
also called the mesencephalon, the middle division of the brain.
Q.
the end of an axon or axon collateral, which forms a synapse on a neuron or other target.
R.
the process of myelin formation.
S.
a complexly shaped lateral portion of the ventricular system within each hemisphere of the brain.
T.
a critical portion of the lymbic system, found in the frontal and parietal midline.
