Question

A major relay station for sensory information ascending to primary sensory areas of the cerebral cortex. Contains many specialized nuclei ________.A) Primary motor cortexB) HypothalamusC) ThalamusD) Prefrontal area

Answer 1

The correct option is C) Thalamus

Step-by-step explanation:

In the depths of the cerebral hemispheres, approximately in the center of the brain is the pair of thalamus. The thalamus is a region of the human brain, this cerebral paired structure within the diencephalon, is responsible for regulating and controlling different functions such as attention, consciousness and perception. Each thalamus functions as an intermediary station (a major relay station), preparing the input signals that arrive from the sense organs and transmitting messages to the cerebral cortex.
