The Brain Summary Notes
... The Thalamus lies above brainstem and is shaped like two eggs. Its function is to act as asensory switchboard (visual and auditory information as well as information about touch pressure temperature and pain). relaying incoming signals to appropriate brain regions. It does not relay sensory signals ...
