| 15020115673 | Cerebral Cortex | The intricate fabric of interconnected neural cells covering the cerebral hemispheres; the body's ultimate control and information-processing center. |  | 0 |
| 15020115674 | somatosensory cortex | an area at the front of the parietal lobes that registers and processes body touch and movement sensations | 1 | |
| 15020115675 | Frontal Lobes | portion of the cerebral cortex lying just behind the forehead; involved in speaking and muscle movements and in making plans and judgements. |  | 2 |
| 15020115676 | Parietal Lobes | portion of the cerebral cortex lying at the top of the head and toward the rear; receives sensory input for touch and body position. |  | 3 |
| 15020115677 | Occipital Lobes | portion of the cerebral cortex lying at the back of the head; includes areas that receive information from the visual fields. |  | 4 |
| 15020115678 | Temporal Lobe | portion of the cerebral cortex lying roughly above the ears; includes the auditory areas, each receiving information primarily from the opposite ear. |  | 5 |
| 15020115679 | Motor Cortex | an area at the rear of the frontal lobes that controls voluntary movements. |  | 6 |
| 15020115680 | Plasticity | the brain's ability to change, especially during childhood, by reorganizing after damage or by building new pathways based on experience. | 7 | |
| 15020115681 | neurogenesis | the formation of new neurons | 8 | |
| 15020115682 | association areas | areas of the cerebral cortex that are not involved in primary motor or sensory functions; rather, they are involved in higher mental functions such as learning, remembering, thinking, and speaking | 9 | |
| 15020118820 | Glial Cells | cells in the nervous system that support, nourish, and protect neurons | 10 |
