Most nerve impulses from our senses are routed through the thalamus. The thalamus is your body’s information relay station. All information from your body’s senses (except smell) must be processed through your thalamus before being sent to your brain’s cerebral cortex for interpretation. Your thalamus also plays a role in sleep, wakefulness, consciousness, learning and memory. If this helps please give me positive feedback! I hope this answers your question! <3
