B. Hypothalamus
The thalamus relays and filters information from the senses and transmits the information to the cerebral cortex.
The hypothalamus regulates body temperature, hunger, thirst, and sexual behavior.
The hippocampus is critical for creating new memories and integrating them into a network of knowledge so that they can be stored.
The amygdala plays a central role in emotional processes.
