 | | The two can adhere on a variable extent in 30% of humans through the adhesio interthalmica (or massa intermedia, with no interthalamic connection in our species). | | | MRI cross-section of human brain, with thalamus marked. | | | Traditionally, the thalamus has been thought of as a "relay" that simply forwards signals from auditory, somatic, visceral and visual systems (though not olfactory) to the cerebral cortex. |
