Birth defect in which a baby fails to develop the cerebrum
What is Anencephaly?
100
Name of the deep groove that divides the cerebrum into left and right halves
What is longitudinal fissure?
100
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 is Wernicke's?
100
Specialized cells of the nervous system responsible for communicating via an electrochemical system of cellular communication
What are neurons?
200
Receive incoming electrochemical signals from other neurons and transmit these signals toward the soma.
What are dendrites?
200
Lobe of the brain
What is temporal lobe?

Strongest line of immune defense of the central nervous system
What is microglia?
300
Responsible for transmitting sensory information from sensory receptor cells located in the body to the spinal cord or brain
What are sensory neurons?
300
Portion of the brain located above the brainstem

400
Percentage of oxygen that the brain uses
What is one fifth?
400
This aphasia is characterized by difficulty understanding the speech of others, meaningless and tangential expressive language, and a lack of awareness of language deficits.
What is Wernicke's Aphasia?
400
Composed of the brain and spinal cord
What is the Central Nervous System?
500
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?
500
Specializes in nonlinguistic forms of communication such as prosody, facial expression, body language, and gesture
