PNS?
◉ sulcus. Answer: depression or groove in the surface of the
cerebral cortex; fissure
◉ gyrus. Answer: A _______ refers to a bulge of tissue located between
the adjacent grooves in the surface of the human cortex.
◉ ventricle. Answer: Where is cerebrospinal fluid formed?
◉ parietal, occipital, temporal, and frontal. Answer: What are the 4
lobes of the cortex?
◉ split-brain research. Answer: surgical cutting of the corpus
callosum to study the effects of disconnecting the right and left brain
,hemispheres, specifically the independent functioning of the 2
hemispheres
◉ lesion studies. Answer: Methodology used to examine the effects
of brain damage

heads, but get them out of their mouths. They know they are having
