Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The thalamus is responsible for relaying sensory information such as visual and auditory signals to the appropriate areas of the brain for processing. Therefore, the neural impulses from Elizabeth's eye will first pass through the thalamus before reaching the occipital lobe. The hypothalamus, reticular formation, and amygdale are not directly involved in processing sensory information from the sight of a red hummingbird.
