Source sentences:
text: The thalamus has multiple functions, generally believed to act as a relay station, or hub, relaying information between different subcortical areas and the cerebral cortex.
text: The thalamus not only relays the information but also processes it, as each of the primary sensory relay areas receives information back from the cerebral cortex (called back projections).
text: Among other functions, it gates almost all sensory input to the cortex (with the notable exception of olfaction), it serves as a relay station to many cortico-cortical loops, and relays information between cerebellum, spinal cord, and cerebrum (Baehr et al., 2005; Jones, 2007).
text: The superior (upper) and medial (central) aspect of the temporal lobe receives auditory input from the part of the thalamus that relays information from the ears.
text: The American neuroscientist Joseph E. LeDoux has shown that auditory stimulation of fear involves the transmission of sound signals through the auditory pathway to the thalamus (which relays information) and then to the dorsal amygdala (which evaluates information).
text: The thalamus is also important for touch - the ventral posterior nuclei relay information regarding touch and perception of bodily position to the primary somatosensory cortex in the cerebral cortex.
text: It is an exciting time to be studying the medial thalamus and its role in cognitive processing as the work of many is challenging the long held beliefs that the thalamus is only passively relaying information from the basal ganglia, midbrain and brainstem onto the prefrontal cortex (PFC).
