The diencephalon is associated with hyperactivity and sham rage (an exaggerated aggressive response without actual aggression). Additionally, the diencephalon is involved in thermoregulation, so intact thermoregulatory ability would be expected with this condition. The other options are not typically associated with intact thermoregulation or hyperactivity.
