Thalamus
Either of two masses of grey matter lying between the cerbal hemispheres on either side of the third ventricle of the brain. The dorsal part of the diencephalon, the rostral most part of the brainstem, above the third ventricle.

As an example, the hypothalamus receives information, both electrical and chemical.
Genetics seem to specify (in unknown ways) some of the gross features of connectivity--for example in mammals the axons of ganglion cells in the eye mostly grow through the optic nerve to a particular group of cells in the thalamus.

It has a posterior lobe called the hypothalamus which contains some interesting neurosecretory cells.
For example, experiments using radioactive labeling show that calcitonin produced by the hypothalamus is different from that produced by the thyroid. In each case, the same gene produces the protein.
There definitely are some scientists who have been working on describing different regions in the hypothalamus or in the brain that might be different for homosexuals versus heterosexuals. But we have a long way to go on that.
