A blind person may have experienced damage to her:

• visual cortex
• prefrontal area
• Broca's area
• auditory association area

The four regions of the cerebral cortex are referred to as:

• lesions
• lobes
• pons
• corpus callosum

If a head injury results in someone no longer being able to hear, which part of the brain may have been damaged?

• temporal lobe
• occipital lobe
• parietal lobe
• frontal lobe

Area of the brain that gives us the opportunity to learn and store complex and abstract info. 

• corpus callosum
• ventricles
• premotor area
• cerebral cortex

This area controls breathing, heart-rate, and reflexes

• pons
• medulla oblongata
• cerebral cortex
• cerebrum

Because messages cannot occur over synapses on their own, they require the help of ________.

• Myelin
• Neurotransmitters
• Axons
• Dendrites

This is the part of a neuron made up of threadlike fibers.

• Axons
• Dendrites
• Synapse
• Myelin

This is the part of a neuron made up of branchlike structures.

• Axons
• Dendrites
• Synapse
• Myelin

This is is the space between cell bodies.

• Axons
• Dendrites
• Synapse
• Myelin

Where is the prefrontal cortex located?

• At the base of the brain
