Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Thalamus is a large quantity of gray matter present in the diencephalon of the brain. Thalamus is the part of forebrain and is located between cerebral cortex and midbrain. Thalamus performs several functions such as transmitting the nerve signals to the cerebral cortex, alertness of brain, consciousness, and so on.
