Question

Damage to the thalamus would not interrupt

a.information traveling to the occipital lobe about light detection

b.signals being integrated in the temporal lobe that indicate the intensity of noise

c.signals traveling to the cerebral cortex about pressure being applied to the skin

d.signals coming into the central nervous system meant to initiate a reflexive motion

Answer 1

Damage to the thalamus would not interrupt

b.signals being integrated in the temporal lobe that indicate the intensity of noise.

The main function of the thalamus is to relay motor and sensory signals to the cerebral cortex. It also regulates sleep, alertness and wakefulness.Damage to a portion of the thalamus is associated with risk of coma. Damage in a portion of the thalamus can lead to sensory changes in a body part. Damage here can also cause movement disorders, lack of movement (motor disturbances).
