Which part of the CNS sorts almost all of the ascending sensory information?
mesencephalon
thalamus
pons
hypothalamus
thalamus
Afferent
impulses from all senses and all parts of the body converge on the
thalamus and synapse with at least one of its nuclei. The thalamus--
which sorts out and edits these afferent signals before relaying
them to the appropriate cortical areas--is considered the gateway to
the cerebral cortex. In summary, the thalamus plays a key role in
mediating sensation, motor activities, cortical arousal, learning,
and memory.
