1. The field of study concerned with the ways in which nervous system activity manifests in behavior is called.
2. The outer covering of the cerebral hemispherE
3. Complexly shaped lateral portion of the ventricular system within each hemisphere of the brain.
4. A bundle of axons found within the central nervous system.
5. Term the means "to provide neural input."
6. A string of nuclei in the midline or medial part of the midbrain and brainstem that contain most of the serotonergic neurons of the brain.

Its possession, cultivation, and distribution are illegal for non-medicinal and non-government sanctioned purposes in virtually all parts of the world.
9. The neuronal body-rich region of the midbrain surrounding the cerebral aqueduct that connects the third and fourth ventricles. Central gray matter surrounding the cerebral aqueduct in the mesencephalon. Physiologically it is probably involved in rage reactions, the lordosis reflex, feeding responses, bladder tonus, and pain.
