The diencephalon is a part of the brain that is responsible for many functions in the human body. In this lesson, you will learn about the diencephalon, including its location, parts, and functions.he thalamus is the size of an walnut, whereas the hypothalamus is the size of an almond; in total, the size of the diencephalon is about the size of an apricot.
