The thalamus is at the top of the sheep's brainstem. The thalamus sends messages to the cortex sensory areas and sends replies out to the medulla and cerebellum.

In sheep brains, the optic nerve (cranial nerve II) appears to be highly developed due to its large size relative to the other cranial nerves. This is because sheep rely heavily on their vision for survival and navigation.
A human brain is larger overall, sheep brains have larger olfactory bulbs though, they also have an area on the sides, around where the temporal lobe is where their eyes go, this causes an indentation humans don't have.

The diencephalon consists of thalamus, hypothalamus, and epithalamus.
The thalamus is situated at the top of the brain stem, connecting the brain to the spinal cord and vertebrates. The thalamus wraps around the third ventricle, making up the upper part of the ventricle wall.

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.
