Other parts of the diencephalon, like the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, have different functions. ;
The thalamus is the part of the diencephalon that acts as a relay station for sensory impulses traveling to the sensory cortex. It processes and forwards sensory information so that we can perceive different sensations. Other parts such as the hypothalamus, pons, and pituitary gland serve different functions.
