The Thalamus
Unfortunately, medical science is not able to fix damaged brains.
The massa intermedia is the neural tissue that connects both halves of the thalamus in some brains
The thalamus is the brain's main source of input to the cerebral cortex. It acts as a relay station, receiving sensory information from various parts of the body and relaying it to the cortex for processing.
Yes, it's right next to the thalamus.
The right thalamus plays a crucial role in processing and relaying sensory information from the body to the cerebral cortex, particularly for sensations such as touch, pain, and temperature from the left side of the body. It is also involved in regulating consciousness, sleep, and alertness. Additionally, the right thalamus contributes to the integration of sensory and motor signals, influencing spatial awareness and attention.
the thalamus
The hypothalamus is located below the thalamus and above the brain stem. Its functions are controlling body temperature, hunger, thirst, sleep, and circadian rhythms.
Essentially this is an anatomical marker where the young thalamus fuses. The interthalamic adhesion (aka massa intermedia) is absent in most older brains. Therefore, it apparently has no major function in the brain.
The plural of thalamus is thalami. As in "we all have thalami".
Thalamus Ltd was created in 1986.
Hypothalamic means under or below the thalamus.
