Ganglion cells and neurons in the thalamus are involved in processing simple features of the environment such as light and dark, before sending this information on to other areas of the brain for more complex processing. The reticular activating system is involved in arousal and attention, the medulla is involved in basic vital functions such as heart rate and breathing, and the amygdala is involved in emotional processing.
