Deep inside your brain is a paired structure called the thalamus. 🧠📡 The thalamus plays a major role in relaying sensory information—including signals related to touch, vision, hearing, and other senses—to appropriate regions of the cerebral cortex. It also participates in broader brain functions involving attention, alertness, and motor information. This 3D medical animation takes you inside the brain to reveal the thalamus and visualize its role as a major information-routing hub.
