Things traveling to a nucleus are afferents. Thalamus has afferents and efferents (things leaving it).
The site of axons and afferent neurons is the peripheral nervous system. Afferent neurons carry sensory information from the periphery to the central nervous system, while axons are the long projections of neurons that transmit electrical impulses away from the cell body to other neurons or muscles.
Optic Nerve
Visual information first passes through the thalamus in the brain before traveling to the visual cortex. The thalamus acts as a relay station that helps to route sensory information to the appropriate areas in the cortex for further processing.
The thalamus is the part of the brain responsible for relaying afferent sensory fibers to the sensory cortex for interpretation. It acts as a central hub, processing and transmitting sensory information from various modalities, such as touch, pain, and temperature, to the appropriate areas of the sensory cortex. The sensory cortex then interprets this information, allowing us to perceive and respond to our environment.

Thalamus is the important synapse site for afferent fibers traveling to the sensory cortex. It acts as a relay station, processing sensory information before transmitting it to the appropriate areas of the sensory cortex for further processing and perception.
The optic nerves carry the impulses from the eyes to the visual area of the thalamus.
The site of axons and afferent neurons is the peripheral nervous system. Afferent neurons carry sensory information from the periphery to the central nervous system, while axons are the long projections of neurons that transmit electrical impulses away from the cell body to other neurons or muscles.
The thalamus is the main relay station for all sensory impulses going to the cortex of the brain, except olfactory sensations. Afferent nerve fibers come into the thalamus, which sends the signals on to the correct part of the cerebral cortex for processing. This is a large, oval structure located on either side of the third ventricle of the brain.

No, the hypothalamus is a region of the brain responsible for regulating various physiological processes such as temperature, hunger, and thirst. Afferent impulses from all senses and body parts are primarily sorted and relayed in the thalamus before being transmitted to the appropriate area of the sensory cortex.
