To minimize dry mouth: 1  Drink water frequently to keep your mouth moist and loosen mucus. Carry water with you to sip throughout the day and keep water by your bed at night. 2  Suck on sugar-free hard candies, ice chips, or sugar-free popsicles. But never chew ice since it can be extremely damaging to your teeth.
It is involved in sensory perception and regulation of motor functions. The thalamus is a limbic system structure and it connects areas of the cerebral cortex that are involved in sensory perception and movement with other parts of the brain and spinal cord that also have a role in sensation and movement.
The thalamus (of which there is one on each side) is a large and important mass of nerve cells or neurons. All sensory pathways (from eyes, ears, skin, etc.), except some of those concerned with the sense of smell, pass through the thalamus on their way to the cerebral cortex.n turn, the fibres of the cells in each thalamic nucleus run up to a particular area (or areas) of the cerebral cortex. Important pathways concerned with the control of movement, from the cerebellum and from motor nuclei called the basal ganglia, also pass through the thalamus.
