Thalamus

Thalamus

The thalamus is the largest part of the diencephalon, which is located between the brain stem and the cerebral hemispheres. In human adults, the thalamus is about the size of a small egg. The structure usually appears as a double-lobed mass of gray matter positioned superior to the hypothalamus, from which its division is marked by a small groove termed the hypothalamic sulcus.
