Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The thalamus is responsible for relaying sensory information to various regions of the brain, including the amygdala (involved in processing emotions) and the cerebral cortex (involved in conscious thinking and perception). Therefore, the correct answer is C, which states that the thalamus transmits emotional information to the amygdala and cerebral cortex. The hypothalamus is also involved in regulating emotional responses, but it is not mentioned in the question as being simultaneously activated by the thalamus. The cerebellum is not directly involved in processing emotion, so A and B can be eliminated as possible choices.
