Detailed explanation-1: -Where is the thalamus located? Your thalamus lies above your brainstem in the middle of your brain. Although it may look like a single structure, you actually have two, side-by-side thalami, one in each hemisphere (side) of your brain.
Detailed explanation-2: -Corpus Callosum-located above the thalamus, under the cortex; connects the right and left hemispheres of the brain; responsible for communication between the two hemispheres of the brain.
Detailed explanation-3: -The hypothalamus is located deep in the brain, hidden between the cerebral hemispheres. On a mid-sagittal section through the brain, the central part of the brain is occupied by the diencephalon (i.e., the thalamus and hypothalamus) surrounding the cavity of the third ventricle.
