The thalamus is located in the center of the brain, and in this diagram, structure B is the only structure that is located in the center. Additionally, the thalamus is responsible for relaying sensory information to the cortex, which is the outer layer of the brain where conscious perception occurs. This function is consistent with the role of structure B as a relay station.
