  2. Medial geniculate nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_geniculate_nucleus

    There are two main cell types in the ventral subnucleus of the medial geniculate body (VMGN): Thalamocortical relay cells (or principal neurons): The dendritic input to these cells comes from two sets of dendritic trees oriented on opposite poles of the cell. The long axis of the relay cells lie parallel to each other running superior ...

  3. Tonotopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonotopy

    The lemniscal classical auditory pathway is tonotopically organized and consists of the central nucleus of the inferior colliculus and the ventral medial geniculate body projecting to primary areas in the auditory cortex. The non-primary auditory cortex receives inputs from the extralemniscal non-classical auditory pathway, which shows a ...

  4. Inferior colliculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferior_colliculus

    The inferior colliculus also receives descending inputs from the auditory cortex and auditory thalamus (or medial geniculate nucleus). [3] The medial geniculate body (MGB) is the output connection from inferior colliculus and the last subcortical way station. The MGB is composed of ventral, dorsal, and medial divisions, which are relatively ...

  5. Auditory system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auditory_system

    In children, early diagnosis and treatment of impaired auditory system function is an important factor in ensuring that key social, academic and speech/language developmental milestones are met. [43] Impairment of the auditory system can include any of the following: Auditory brainstem response and ABR audiometry test for newborn hearing

  6. Thalamus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thalamus

    medial geniculate nucleus; intralaminar group; reticular nucleus; stratum zonale; interthalamic adhesion; The term "lateral nuclear group" is used with two meanings. It can mean either the complete set of nuclei in the lateral "third" of the trisection by the lamina, or the subset which excludes the ventral group and the geniculate nuclei. [22 ...

  7. Binaural fusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binaural_fusion

    The AVCN consists of spherical bushy cells and globular bushy cells and can also transmit signals to the medial nucleus of the trapezoid body (MNTB), whose neurons project to the MSO. Transmissions from the SOC travel to the inferior colliculus (IC) via the lateral lemniscus. At the level of the IC, binaural fusion is more complete.

  9. Auditosensory cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auditosensory_cortex

    It is responsible for receiving signals from the medial geniculate nucleus. Within the primary auditory cortex, the auditosensory cortex extends posteromedially over the gyrus. [2] Brodmann area 42 is an auditory core region bordered medially by Brodmann area 41 and laterally by Brodmann area 22. [2] The auditosensory cortex demarcates the ...
