  • Diencephalon is the posteroventral part of the forebrain.
  • In general, its roof is called epithalamus, the base is called hypothalamus and sides are called optic thalami.
  • The diencephalon relays sensory information between brain regions and controls many autonomic functions of the peripheral nervous system.
  • It links the structures of the endocrine system with the nervous system and closely works with the limbic system structures to generate and manage emotions.
