The spinal cord collects sensory information about pressure, temperature and pain, and sends this information to muscles. Spinal cord function is required for tasks such as walking and is necessary for sensation. The thalamus serves as a relay station for sensory and motor information. In all senses except smell, receptors are sent to the thalamus and then passed to the cortex. The hippocampus is primarily used for memory.
