ThalamusAlmost all sensations go through the thalamus• Transmit sensory information to corresponding sensory cortices • Receive impulses from cerebellum and basal ganglia• Interface with motor frontal lobe• Connect to association and limbic cortex• Connect to reticular activating system•serves as a gateway for incoming sensory information•thalamus conveys information from basal ganglia and cerebellum to cortex (if you lost your thalamus you’d be in a coma; if a patient can’t stay awake could have a thalamic disorder)olfaction doesn’t go through the thalamus, olfaction goes straight to the cortexThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture.
