To determine:
The structure and function of the thalamus.
Introduction:
The diencephalon is a part of the prosencephalon. It is present between the inferior regions of the cerebral hemisphere. This region is also known as the in-between brain. The diencephalon provides the relay and switching centers for some sensory and motor pathways.
