What is an axon?
200
The part that controls the left side of your body?

400
Gaps where brain signals jump to travel to another axon or dendrite
What is a synapse?
400
carries messages from the sensory organs like the eyes, ears, nose, and fingers to the cortex or the outer layer of the cerebrum
What is the thalamus?
400

Receives auditory information (pitch, tone, sound quality, loudness).

What is Auditory Cortex?

500
Parts of the brain stem
What is the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata?
500
How the hemispheres communicate with each other
What is the corpus collosum?
