There are actually two thalami, on either side of the third ventricle, between the brain stem and the cerebrum. As for size, I have never done any measurements, but having seen in dissection, I would say they are about two inches long. (They are roughly egg-shaped, so the 2 inches would be the longer diameter)
What else can I help you with?
Second order neurons of both specific and nonspecific ascending pathways terminate where?
Second order neurons of both specific and nonspecific ascending pathways terminate in the thalamus. From there, the thalamus sends projections to the somatosensory cortex for further processing of sensory information.
What part of the brain serves as a switching station for sensory input?
The thalamus serves as a switching station for sensory input in the brain. It receives information from various sensory systems and relays it to the appropriate areas of the cerebral cortex for further processing.
Does thalamus help regulate water balance?
No, the thalamus does not directly regulate water balance. The thalamus is primarily involved in processing sensory information and relaying it to the cerebral cortex. Water balance is primarily regulated by the hypothalamus, a separate brain structure located below the thalamus.
What color is the thalamus?
The thalamus is not associated with a specific color since it is a part of the brain responsible for relaying sensory signals to the cerebral cortex. It is typically depicted as a greyish structure in anatomical diagrams.
What is the largest component of the diencephalon?

What is the brain's relay station?
the thalamus
What is the plural of thalamus?
The plural of thalamus is thalami. As in "we all have thalami".
When was Thalamus Ltd created?
Thalamus Ltd was created in 1986.
What is the Medical term meaning below the thalamus?
Hypothalamic means under or below the thalamus.
Which part of the brain acts a relay station for incoming sensory information?
cerebellum
What helps the hypothalamus?
The thalamus helps the hypothalamus. The job of the thalamus is somewhat like a switchboard.
Does the thalamus repair its self?
No. The cortex may take over some of the duties of the thalamus.
What is the thalamus?
The short, abbreviated flower axis on which four whorls of flower are developed is called thalamus.
The thalamus is part of the?
The thalamus is part of the limbic system (or more specifically, it is the largest structure in the diencephalon).
What is a thalamus of a flower?

What part of the brain includes the thalamus hypothalamus and epithalamus?
The diencephalon consists of thalamus, hypothalamus, and epithalamus.
Second order neurons of both specific and nonspecific ascending pathways terminate where?
Second order neurons of both specific and nonspecific ascending pathways terminate in the thalamus. From there, the thalamus sends projections to the somatosensory cortex for further processing of sensory information.
