The [[Forebrain - Anatomy & Physiology#thalamus|thalamus]] functions to relay sensory information to the [[Forebrain - Anatomy & Physiology#Cerebral Cortex|cerebral cortex]] and the [[Forebrain - Anatomy & Physiology#Hypothalamus|hypothalamus]] regulates visceral functions, such as temperature, reproductive functions, eating, sleeping and the display of emotion. The limbic system describes a collection of structures within the forebrain, including the '''amygdala  hippocampus''' . Also known as the 'emotional brain', the limbic system is important in the formation of memories and in making decisions and learning.
