The human brain contains a hypothalamus.
 At the next stage, the forebrain splits into two vesicles called the telencephalon (which will contain the cerebral cortex, basal ganglia, and related structures) and the diencephalon (which will contain the thalamus and hypothalamus)
 It takes up a much larger proportion of the brain for primates than for other species, and an especially large fraction of the human brain
