The thalamus is a critical structure in the brain that acts as a relay station for sensory information, including sight, hearing, and touch, to the cerebral cortex. A tumor in the thalamus could disrupt the processing and relay of these sensory modalities, leading to the loss of these senses as described in Amy's case.
