  2. Ventral cochlear nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventral_cochlear_nucleus

    The ventral cochlear nucleus is divided into the anterior ventral (anteroventral) cochlear nucleus (AVCN) and the posterior ventral (posteroventral) cochlear nucleus (PVCN). In the VCN, auditory nerve fibers bifurcate, the ascending branch innervates the AVCN and the descending branch innervates the PVCN and then continue to the dorsal cochlear ...

  3. Cochlear nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cochlear_nucleus

    The ventral cochlear nucleus is unlayered whereas the dorsal cochlear nucleus is layered. Auditory nerve fibers, fibers that travel through the auditory nerve (also known as the cochlear nerve or eighth cranial nerve) carry information from the inner ear, the cochlea, on the same side of the head, to the nerve root in the ventral cochlear ...

  4. 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 .

  5. Auditory system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auditory_system

    The trapezoid body is where most of the cochlear nucleus (CN) fibers decussate (cross left to right and vice versa); this cross aids in sound localization. [16] The CN breaks into ventral (VCN) and dorsal (DCN) regions. The VCN has three nuclei. [clarification needed] Bushy cells transmit timing info, their shape averages timing jitters ...

  6. Dorsal cochlear nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsal_cochlear_nucleus

    The dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN, also known as the "tuberculum acusticum") is a cortex-like structure on the dorso-lateral surface of the brainstem.Along with the ventral cochlear nucleus (VCN), it forms the cochlear nucleus (CN), where all auditory nerve fibers from the cochlea form their first synapses.

  7. Trapezoid body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapezoid_body

    The trapezoid body or ventral acoustic stria is a structure in the pontine tegmentum formed by the crossing-over (decussation) of a portion of the efferent second-order fibers of the ventral cochlear nucleus (anterior cochlear nucleus).

  8. Lateral lemniscus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_lemniscus

    the dorsal nucleus of the lateral lemniscus (DNLL) Fibers leaving these brainstem nuclei ascending to the inferior colliculus rejoin the lateral lemniscus. In that sense, this is not a ' lemniscus ' in the true sense of the word (second order, decussated sensory axons), as there is third (and out of the lateral superior olive , fourth) order ...

  9. Calyx of Held - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calyx_of_held

    Math1/Math5 and FGF are two regulators essential for appropriate growth and development of the cochlear nucleus complex, which comprises both the ventral cochlear nucleus (VCN) and the dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN). Sufficient FGF levels ensure proper morphology of the cochlear nuclei, while Math5 insures correct size and processing of the ...
