Rounded structure in the middle region of the brain that relays sensory signals to the Cerebral Cortex Only a very small part of the thalamus is in any way related to the limbic structure set
A brain structure that lies between the brain stem and the cortex and acts as a relay to the cortex for almost all sensory inputs and other kinds of information
A portion of the brain that relays impulses from the sensory nerves Sensory nerves enable people to feel objects that they touch, and they allow people to feel pain
A part of the brain consisting of two large ovoid structures at the base of the cerebrum It acts as a vital relay station between the sensory nerves and the cerebral cortex (BVD)
one of the basal ganglia (a cluster of nerve cell bodies) deep in the brain that serves as a center for the relay of sensory information (especially pain and pleasure information) and plays a role in arousal
One of the two subdivisions of the diencephalon The thalamus receives and processes sensory information and sends the sensory information to the appropriate regions of the cerebral cortex The thalamus also plays important roles in motor control
A small bundle of tissue located in the midbrain grey matter that is destroyed during thalamotomy It is the main relay station for sensory impulses that reach the brain cortex from other parts of the brain and the spinal cord
