Bryce loves chocolate cake. He enjoys seeing it and especially tasting it. What part of Bryce’s brain allows him to enjoy this experience?
  1. Hippocampus
  2. Thalamus
  3. Spinal cord
  4. Cortex
Explanation
Answer: B - The thalamus serves as a relay station for sensory and motor information. In all senses except for smell, receptors are sent to the thalamus and then passed to the cortex. The hippocampus is primarily used for memory. The spinal cord collects sensory information about pressure, temperature and pain, and sends this information to muscles.
