Front 28

Cluster of nuclei that first process and then distribute sensory and motor information to the appropriate part of the cerebral cortex

Back 28

Thalamus

Front 29

Helps the Cortex to direct its attention to selectively important sensory messages while diminishing the significance of others

Back 29

Thalamus

Front 30

Recieves information about the internal environment and is important for survival
