The thalamus acts as a relay station for sensory information, directing it to the appropriate areas of the brain for processing. Damage to the thalamus can disrupt this process, potentially causing loss of senses such as hearing, sight, and touch. However, olfactory information (related to smell) bypasses the thalamus and goes directly to the olfactory bulb, which is why smell is not affected by thalamic damage.
