(thalamus) The portion of the diencephalon forming most of each lateral wall of the third ventricle.

(thalamus) A brain structure that relays sensory information to other parts of the brain; also plays a role in memory consolidation.

(thalamus) An area of the brain that helps process information from the senses and transmit it to other parts of the brain.

(thalamus) An ovoid mass composed predominantly of gray substance and associated laminae of white substance. The thalamus is divided into anterior, medial, and lateral parts. The function of the thalamus is to relay sensory impulses and cerebellar and basal ganglia projections to the cerebral cortex. The thalamus is positioned within the posterior part of the diencephalon forming most of each lateral wall of the third ventricle.

(thalamus) Organ component of neuraxis, each instance of which is a large oval mass in the posterior part of some diencephalon adjacent to the lateral wall of some thrid ventricle, containing groups of some nuclei serving as relay centers for sensory impulses and cerebellar and basal nuclear rpojections to some cerebral cortex.

(thalamus) Paired bodies containing mostly GRAY MATTER and forming part of the lateral wall of the THIRD VENTRICLE of the brain.

Thalamus, either of a pair of large ovoid organs that form most of the lateral walls of the third ventricle of the brain. The thalamus translates neural impulses from various receptors to the cerebral cortex. While the thalamus is classically known for its roles as a sensory relay in visual...
