interbrain
Brain's central relay
The interbrain is a region of the brain between the cerebrum and the midbrain, comprising the thalamus and hypothalamus.
Also called the diencephalon, it serves as a relay station for sensory information and regulates functions like body temperature, hunger, and sleep cycles.
