The thalamus is part of the humanoid brain. Telepathic memory invasion by Ullians results in an electropathic residue in the thalamus. (TNG: "Violations")
- Dr. Crusher describes the thalamus as being part of the cerebral cortex that is responsible for memory. In actuality it is part of the brainstem and is responsible for managing sensory input. However the mechanisms of memory are not well-known and could by the 24th century be discovered to include the thalamus. Damage to the thalamus can cause coma.
