Either of two large, ovoid structures of grey matter within the forebrain that relay sensory impulses to the cerebral cortex
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 primarily serves as a relay station for sensory information
Structure deep in the brain composed of neurons associated with sensory, emotion, and memory processing
Large mass of tissue in the center of the brain that relays sensory impulses to the cortex
A structure in the diencephalon composed of two lobes, one on each side of the third ventricle
two masses of grey matter between the hemispheres that relay sensory information; centre of pain perception
A mass of nervous matter on either side of the third ventricle of the brain; called also optic thalamus
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
large egg-shaped structures of gray matter that form the dorsal subdivision of the diencephalon
That portion of the forebrain responsible for the recognition of sensory stimuli and the relay of sensory impulses to the cerebral cortex
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
forebrain structure, part of the limbic system, that sorts incoming information and coordinates body movements and sensations
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)
the dorsal part of the diencephalon, highly interconnected with the cerebral neocortex
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
{i} part of the midbrain (Anatomy); receptacle of a flower in which the embryo fruits and later the seeds are held (Botany)
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
{s} of or pertaining to the thalamus, of or pertaining to a part of the midbrain (Anatomy); of or pertaining to the receptacle of a flower in which the embryo fruits and later the seeds are held (Botany)
