  2. Auditory cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auditory_cortex

    The auditory cortex is the most highly organized processing unit of sound in the brain. This cortex area is the neural crux of hearing, and—in humans—language and music. The auditory cortex is divided into three separate parts: the primary, secondary, and tertiary auditory cortex. These structures are formed concentrically around one ...

  3. Auditory system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auditory_system

    Auditory system. Auditory system. Anatomical terminology. [edit on Wikidata] How sounds make their way from the source to the brain. The auditory system is the sensory system for the sense of hearing. It includes both the sensory organs (the ears) and the auditory parts of the sensory system. [1]

  4. Vestibulocochlear nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestibulocochlear_nerve

    The vestibulocochlear nerve or auditory vestibular nerve, also known as the eighth cranial nerve, cranial nerve VIII, or simply CN VIII, is a cranial nerve that transmits sound and equilibrium (balance) information from the inner ear to the brain. Through olivocochlear fibers, it also transmits motor and modulatory information from the superior ...

  5. Accommodation reflex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodation_reflex

    Light from a single point of a distant object and light from a single point of a near object being brought to a focus. The accommodation reflex (or accommodation-convergence reflex) is a reflex action of the eye, in response to focusing on a near object, then looking at a distant object (and vice versa), comprising coordinated changes in vergence, lens shape (accommodation) and pupil size.

  6. Cochlear nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cochlear_nerve

    The cochlear nerve (also auditory nerve or acoustic nerve) is one of two parts of the vestibulocochlear nerve, a cranial nerve present in amniotes, the other part being the vestibular nerve. The cochlear nerve carries auditory sensory information from the cochlea of the inner ear directly to the brain. The other portion of the vestibulocochlear ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_geniculate_nucleus

    Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy. [edit on Wikidata] The medial geniculate nucleus (MGN) or medial geniculate body (MGB) is part of the auditory thalamus and represents the thalamic relay between the inferior colliculus (IC) and the auditory cortex (AC). [1] It is made up of a number of sub-nuclei that are distinguished by their neuronal ...

  8. Tonotopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonotopy

    Tonotopy. In physiology, tonotopy (from Greek tono = frequency and topos = place) is the spatial arrangement of where sounds of different frequency are processed in the brain. Tones close to each other in terms of frequency are represented in topologically neighbouring regions in the brain. Tonotopic maps are a particular case of topographic ...

  9. Inferior colliculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferior_colliculus

    Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy. [edit on Wikidata] The inferior colliculus (IC) (Latin for lower hill) is the principal midbrain nucleus of the auditory pathway and receives input from several peripheral brainstem nuclei in the auditory pathway, as well as inputs from the auditory cortex. [1] The inferior colliculus has three subdivisions ...
