Stimulus information from the environment is first processed by the thalamus. From there, the information branches off, with one pathway leading to the cerebral cortex, where it can be processed more carefully. Another pathway leads directly to the amygdala, where the information can be acted upon more quickly than if it passed through the cortex.

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Your thalamus is an egg-shaped structure in the middle of your brain. It’s known as a relay station of all incoming motor (movement) and sensory information-hearing, taste, sight and touch (but not smell)-from your body to your brain.

Detailed explanation-2: -The thalamus is composed of different nuclei that each serve a unique role, ranging from relaying sensory and motor signals, as well as regulation of consciousness and alertness.

Detailed explanation-3: -The parietal lobe is separated from the occipital lobe by the parieto-occipital sulcus and is behind the central sulcus. It is responsible for processing sensory information and contains the somatosensory cortex.

Detailed explanation-4: -Information is delivered into the spinal cord through the axon terminals of sensory neurons. Once in the spinal cord, the information may flow to motor neurons, to interneurons that pass it directly to motor neurons, or to interneurons that transmit the information to the brain.
