What is characteristic for the dorso-medial sensory thalamus?
a. Cells project to primary cortices
b. Cells project to subcortical structures and secondary cortices
c. Cells respond to only one sensory modality
d. Celle respond only to the amygdala
Cells project to subcortical structures and secondary cortices.
This sensory thalamus collects infirmation from olfactory senses and is responsible for relaying this information to the brain stem. It also relays information like complex sounds. It also plays an important role in processing emotional sensations due to its projection to prefrontal cortex. It also projects to orbital cortex and hence various eye movements are relied upon this structure. Movements of frontal eye lid called as saccades are known to be controlled by this structure.
