G.   Sensory relay center

H.   Target for drugs to access the brain

I.   The outer-most layer if the 3 cranial meninges

J.     Has somatotopic organization

K. Inner-most layer if the 3 cranial meninges

Answer 1

• Dura mater - I - The outermost layer of the 3 cranial meninges
• VPL nucleus of the thalamus - J - Has somatotopic organization
• Limbic system - A - Collection of brain regions/structures responsible for controlling emotional states and storing declarative memories.
• Circumventricular organ - H -  Target for drugs to access the brain
• Population coding - C - Increased stimulus intensity resulting in the recruitment of more and more active neurons
• Hydrocephalus - B - The possible result of a CSF-producing tumor.
• Horizontal cells - F - Enhance antagonistic signals from nearby receptors, providing information about contrast.
• Thalamus - G - Sensory relay center
• Cerebellum - D - Fine-tunes conscious and subconscious movements through sensory feedback.
• M type retinal ganglion cells - E - Provide visual information about general shapes, motion and shadows.
