The largest portion of the diencephalon-the thalamus- contains?

Relay and processing centers for sensory information.


What is the major relay station for sensory information ascending to primary sensory areas of the cerebral cortex?

The thalamus encloses the shallow third ventricle of the brain, and is the relay station for sensory impulses passing upwards to the sensory cortex.


What part of the brain acts a relay station for incoming sensory information?

cerebellum


The association nerve cells relay information from sensory nerve cells to motor nerve cells?

True. A+


What part of the brain serves as the relay station for receiving information form the sense organs and sending it to the cerebral cortex for processing?

The Thalamus receives the information. It is then relayed to the post-central gyrus of the cerebrum on which you can map the human body. This is called the sensory humunculus (or little human).


What is neural coding?

Neural coding refers to the pathways and transformations needed to relay sensory information into the nervous system.


What are neurons that relay impulses from sensory to motor neurons?

Sensory Neurons


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.


Does the hypothalamus relay sensory inputs?

No, the thalamus relays sensory inputs, not the hypothalamus.

Which neuron receives information?

actually we must say all neurons receive information. there are three types of neurons: 1.sensory neuron 2.motor neuron 3.relay neuron the sensory neurons receive information from receptor cells in sense organs and pass the information from sensory neuron to the other and pass the info to spinal cord where they are received by relay neuron. this neuron in turn passes the info to motor neurons which pass the info to cells in effectors and action is performed.relay neurons are messengers between sensory neuron and motor neuron in spinal cord.
