Which of the following sequences best describes the pathway of auditory signals?
A)cochlea,auditory nerve,brainstem nuclei,inferior colliculi,lateral geniculate nucleus,auditory cortex
B)cochlea,auditory nerve,brainstem nuclei,inferior colliculi,medial geniculate nucleus,auditory cortex
C)cochlea,auditory nerve,inferior colliculi,medial geniculate nucleus,auditory cortex
D)cochlea,auditory nerve,brainstem nuclei,superior colliculi,medial geniculate nucleus,auditory cortex

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pathway of auditory signals involves the cochlea, auditory nerve, brainstem nuclei, inferior colliculi, and then either the medial geniculate nucleus (for auditory information) or the lateral geniculate nucleus (for visual information) before finally reaching the auditory cortex. So, option B correctly describes this pathway. The other options either miss out on important nuclei or include incorrect ones.
