Question

Which part of the CNS sorts almost all sensory information ascending to the cerebral cortex? Which part of the CNS sorts almost all sensory information ascending to the cerebral cortex? thalamus hypothalamus pons mesencephalon

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-Thalamus

Explanation:

Thalamus is the small structural and functional part of the brain which lies between the cerebral cortex and the midbrain.

The thalamus is known as the relay system of the brain as it collects all the sensory information from the afferent impulses, analyses it and then send it to the appropriate cortical areas.

Since thalamus collects and relays the sensory information from the CNS to the cortical areas therefore, the thalamus is the correct answer.
