The relay station in the brain is primarily the thalamus. It acts as a central hub for sensory information, processing and transmitting signals to the appropriate areas of the cerebral cortex. The thalamus plays a crucial role in regulating consciousness, sleep, and alertness, ensuring that sensory data is appropriately integrated and interpreted.

The midbrain acts as a relay station.
cerebellum
The relay station for nerve impulses is the thalamus in the brain. It receives sensory information from various parts of the body and relays it to the appropriate areas of the cerebral cortex for processing.
Spinal cord
The spinal cord acts to connect the nerves of the body to the brain
Transmits neural signals between the brain and the rest of the body.
Most often, it is the thalamus that is the relay station to the cerebrum, although all of the structures have interconnections.
The thalamus functions as a relay station between the cerebellum and other brain structures, helping to transmit sensory and motor information. It is an important hub for integrating and coordinating signals between different parts of the brain.
The hypothalamus has neural outputs to the pituitary gland, which is the main gland for the endocrine system
