Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Thalamus is a large quantity of gray matter present in the diencephalon of the brain. Thalamus is the part of forebrain and is located between cerebral cortex and midbrain. Thalamus performs several functions such as transmitting the nerve signals to the cerebral cortex, alertness of brain, consciousness, and so on.

- Knowing what you know about the anatomy of the eyeball, why do you suppose untreated glaucoma (excess aqueous humor production) causes blindness? Group of answer choices a. The excess aqueous humor compresses the optic nerve b. Intraocular pressure increases and the vitreous body presses against the lens c.
