Your nerves send tiny electronic signals through your body to the brain stem and to the main brain. The neurons inside your brain have three basic parts. Every tiny neuron consists of a cell body, ... The hypothalamus is part of the limbic system. It is located in the internal portion of the brain under the thalamus.

In mammals, the thalamus receives all sensory messages from the spinal cord (except those from the olfactory receptors) prior to being directed to the cerebrum's sensory areas. The function of the thalamus is to sort and interpret these messages before relaying them to the appropriate neurons in the cerebrum.
