Functions of interneurons
What is connecting neurons to each other within the same area of the brain?
Birth defect in which a baby fails to develop the cerebrum

What is longitudinal fissure?
Damage to this area leaves individuals struggling to understand the speech of others, their own expressive language is often meaningless and tangential, and they usually struggle to understand they are suffering from any language deficits at all

What are sensory neurons?
Portion of the brain located above the brainstem
What is the cerebrum?
Helps cushion the brain from trauma
What is the ventricular system?
Right cerebral hemisphere plays a role in regulating which of the following levels of attention

What is the Central Nervous System?
Infection and inflammation of the meningeal layers that can lead to paralysis
What is meningitis?
Where our highest and most complex level of cognition (memory, attention, problem-solving, social inhibitions, etc.), language, and most skilled motor movement is generated
What is the cerebrum?
Specializes in nonlinguistic forms of communication such as prosody, facial expression, body language, and gesture
What is Right Cerebral Hemisphere?
Buildup of too much cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricles
What is hydrocephalus?
These language specific areas are referred to as
