Auditory pathway
The vestibulo cochlear nerve end up in the cochlear nucleus of the medulla. The impulses from here are transmitted to superior olivary nuclei, inferior colliculus and median geniculate body of thalamus.
From thalamus it endsup in temporal lobe of cerebral cortex (auditory cortex)
Temporal lobe sends efferent to limbic system for behavioural modification and to muscles of larynx for reflex vocalization.
