Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The thalamus acts as a relay station for sensory information from the sensory organs (such as the eyes and ears) to the cortex, where it is processed at the perceptual level. All sensory information except that from the olfactory (smell) system must pass through the thalamus before reaching the cortex. The medulla, pons, and reticular formation are involved in other functions such as controlling basic bodily functions and sleep/wake cycles.
