Could the thalamus gland prevent sleep?

The thalamus is not a gland but a critical brain structure that acts as a relay station for sensory information and plays a role in regulating sleep and wakefulness. It helps to filter sensory input and is involved in the sleep-wake cycle by facilitating the transition between states. While it does not "prevent" sleep per se, dysfunction or abnormal activity in the thalamus can disrupt sleep patterns and contribute to sleep disorders. Thus, its proper functioning is essential for healthy sleep regulation.
