Tissue Overview

The thalamus is a paired, egg-shaped structure deep within the brain, acting as the brain's major relay station. Nearly all sensory information (except smell) passes through it, where it is filtered and directed to the appropriate cortical areas for conscious perception. It also regulates consciousness, sleep, alertness, and relays motor signals from the cerebellum and basal ganglia to the motor cortex.
