It's not really a structure. The thalamus and the hypothalamus are associated with parts of the cerebral cortex and deep nuclei of the cerebrum to form a complex known as the limbic system. the limbic system is involved in memory and in emotions such as sadness, happiness, anger and fear. It seems to regulate emotional behavior, especially behavior that enhances survival.
The limbic system is located on top of the brain stem and buried under the cortex.
The olfactory bulb (for the sense of smell) is located in the limbic system of the brain.

Actually, the RAS (reticular activating system) is a network of neurons located in the brainstem that plays a key role in regulating sleep-wake cycles and overall consciousness by controlling the level of arousal in the brain. While it does interact with the limbic system, the RAS is not primarily located in the limbic system itself.
The hippocampus is part of the limbic system and plays a crucial role in memory formation and storage. The reticular formation is located in the brainstem and is responsible for regulating wakefulness, alertness, and controlling the sleep-wake cycle.
The brainstem is to arousal as the limbic system is to emotion.
The olfactory system sends information directly to the olfactory bulb, which is located in the brain. From there, the information is processed in regions of the brain such as the olfactory cortex and limbic system, which are involved in processing smells and emotions.

The limbic system I think..Though I'm not an expert.
