What is thalamus about in your body?

The thalamus is a major relay center. All incoming sensory information except smell goes through the thalamus, before reaching the cerebral cortex. (And even smell has a pathway connecting to the thalamus.) The actual processing of the sensory information starts here, this is especially true about vision. It also participates in the regulation of sleep, arousal and wakefulness, and plays a role in motor functions as well.
