Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The thalamus is considered the relay center for sensory information processing in the brain. It receives input from all general and most special senses (except for olfaction) and sends them to their respective areas in the cerebral cortex for further processing and interpretation. The hypothalamus, pons, and medulla oblongata are involved in various other functions such as regulation of autonomic nervous system, sleep-wake cycle, and vital functions like breathing and heart rate.
