The Thalamus
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
The thalamus relays incoming sensory signals, except smell, to the appropriate regions of the cerebral cortex.
Show
Visual signals from the eye pass through the thalamus before reaching the occipital lobe.
Watch for
The thalamus is not a passive switchboard. It filters and gates what reaches the cortex.
