Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The corpora quadrigemina, located in the midbrain, contains four round protrusions, two of which (the superior colliculi) are reflex centers for vision, and the other two (the inferior colliculi) are reflex centers for hearing. The pons, medulla oblongata, and reticular formation are all parts of the brainstem, but they do not house these specific reflex centers. The fourth ventricle is a fluid-filled cavity in the brainstem, and is not involved in processing sensory information.
