No, the thalamus relays sensory inputs, not the hypothalamus.
The hypothalamus is sometimes called "the brain of the brain". It is the hub for many automatic and homeostatic systems, including the circulatory system, metabolic processes, and sensory inputs.

Neural inputs.
The diencephalon is made up of 3 main structures: Thalamus: Which is a relay station for regulation sensory inputs to the cerebellum Hypothalamus: which is a bridge between the nervous system and endocrine system Pituitary Gland: "master endocrine gland" because it regulates the production and release of other hormones
No, the relay stations for olfactory pathways are located in the olfactory bulb in the brain, not the hypothalamus. The olfactory bulb processes sensory information from the nose before sending it to other brain regions for further interpretation and reaction. The hypothalamus plays a role in regulating hormones and certain basic functions like hunger and thirst.
The diencephalon includes the thalamus, hypothalamus, epithalamus, and subthalamus. These structures play important roles in processes such as sensory relay, hormone regulation, and motor control.
Thalamus
The diencephalon gives rise to structures like the thalamus, hypothalamus, and epithalamus. These structures play important roles in processes like sensory relay, regulation of hormones, and control of sleep-wake cycles.
