Receives sensory information and relays it to the proper part of brain for further processing
A
Hypothalamus
B
Reticular Formation
C
Cerebellum
D
Thalamus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Your thalamus is a central relay station for receiving incoming sensory and motor information. Your thalamus then sends this information to other parts of your brain. So, damage to your thalamus can affect many functions.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sensory axons, found in visual, auditory, and sensory impulses, activate RAS neurons in the brain stem. These neurons then relay information to the thalamus and cerebrum.

Detailed explanation-3: -Thalamus. Located in the central part of the brain, the thalamus receives sensory messages, such as touch, from the body, and sends the messages to the appropriate part of the brain to be interpreted.

Detailed explanation-4: -The thalamus is located in the middle of the brain, just above the brain stem. It acts like a relay station, receiving sensory information from the body and then sorting it to the appropriate processing center in the brain.

Detailed explanation-5: -In the visual system, the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) of the dorsal thalamus is the gateway through which visual information reaches the cerebral cortex.
