Incorrect. The highlighted region is the subthalamic nucleus. The subthalamic nucleus is shaped like a biconvex lens 1 and is located just between the thalamus and the mesencephalon 1. It is an important part of the indirect pathway of the basal ganglia and is involved in control of motor activity 2.
