2022年3月30日 · What does the thalamus do? Your thalamus has many functions, including: Relaying sensory information. Taking in information, in the form of nerve signals, from all of your senses (taste, touch, hearing, seeing), except smell, into your brain.

2023年9月19日 · The thalamus and hypothalamus serve distinct functions in the brain. The thalamus acts as the brain’s relay station, processing and directing sensory and motor signals to the correct areas of the cerebral cortex.

The thalamus (pl.: thalami; from Greek θάλαμος, "chamber") is a large mass of gray matter on the lateral walls of the third ventricle forming the dorsal part of the diencephalon (a division of the forebrain).

2023年7月24日 · The thalamus is a mostly gray matter structure of the diencephalon that has many essential roles in human physiology. The thalamus is composed of different nuclei that each serve a unique role, ranging from relaying sensory and motor signals, as well as regulation of consciousness and alertness.

2025年1月22日 · The thalamus translates neural impulses from various receptors to the cerebral cortex. While the thalamus is classically known for its roles as a sensory relay in visual, auditory, somatosensory, and gustatory systems, it also has significant roles in motor activity, emotion, memory, arousal, and other sensorimotor association functions.

2025年1月6日 · The thalamus, an egg-shaped structure made up of thalamic nuclei, is part of the brain that relays sensory and motor signals from various locations (e.g., the basal ganglia, medial lemniscus, the retina) to the cerebral cortex.

3 天之前 · This article provides a comprehensive understanding of the structure and function of the thalamus, its role in disease states, as well as the history and promise of thalamic interventions. The target audience includes clinicians, particularly neurologists and psychiatrists as well as basic scientists in need of a wider perspective.
