Q: Where do neurons in the marked nucleus synapse? ANS: contralateral inferior colliculus Q: Where are the cell bodies located of the marked axons? ANS: mostly in the ventral cochlear nuclei, on both the contralateral and ipsilateral sides Q: What is the function of the marked nucleus? ANS: horizontal localization of sounds Q: Where do most axons in the marked tract synapse? ANS: ipsilateral inferior colliculus Q: Neurons in the marked structure will influence the activity on what cortical gyri? ANS: Heschl’s gyri Q: Identify nucleus $. ANS: medial geniculate nucleus Q: What class(es) of sensory receptor drive the activity of neurons in nucleus @?
