The paired ____________________ nerves deliver sensory information from the face and much of the scalp.

Short-term memory

____ memories are memories of facts that often result after only one experience, whereas ____ memories involve motor skills gained via repetitive training.

Match the structure to its proper description. a.dorsal horn b.dorsal root c.dorsal root ganglion d.ventral horn e.ventral root f.lateral horn -Contains cell bodies of afferent neurons

Reciprocal innervation refers to the fact that some organs are innervated by both divisions of the autonomic nervous system.

Indicate which brain structure is associated with each function by writing the appropriate letter in the blank using the following answer code: a.cerebellum b.hypothalamus c.brainstem d.basal nuclei e.cerebral cortex -Controls thirst, urine output, food intake, and body temperature

Stellate neurons process sensory input into the cerebral cortex, while pyramidal neurons in the cortex have long axons that extend to motor neurons in spinal cord.

Neurons in the cerebral cortex that are responsible for initial processing of sensory input to the cortex are

Depression is a psychiatric disorder associated with defects in basal nuclei neurotransmitters.

Sensory information travels from the spinal cord to the brain via

Afferent neurons
