Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The thalamus is a relay center for most of the sensory information that enters the brain. It receives input from sensory organs, processes and relays it to the appropriate areas of the cortex for further processing and integration. The hypothalamus is involved in regulating basic functions such as hunger, thirst, and sleep, while the hippocampus plays a critical role in memory formation and retrieval. The amygdala is involved in processing emotions, particularly fear and anxiety.
