Given multiple modes of sensory inputs and their memory retrieval, the dorsal thalamus gates sensory processed information into the cognitive cortex. Cascading of inputs from sensory memory is essential for entering the cognitive domain.

Cognition processing begins in pyramidal cells of sensory and emotion cortices. However, ordering of events, places, and functional processes requires the highest level of cognitive processing. This occurs in the prefrontal cortex that searches sensory memory utilizing high level association to determine understanding of spatial structure and temporal order of processes.
