Scope Note
cochlear nuclei give rise to two bundles, the trapezoid body and dorsal acoustic stria, which rejoin as the lateral lemniscus and continue via the inferior colliculus to the auditory cortex.

Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)
- A general conclusion reached from work on the anatomic and chemical composition of the auditory pathway is that inhibition plays an extremely important role at all levels of the system in shaping the exquisitely precise responses of central neurons.
- Since the main part of signal processing in the auditory pathway is performed by these different types of spiking neurons, a good spiking neuron model is essential.
- One is that the auditory pathway is less ubiquitous than the vestibular pathways.
- The amount getting to the auditory pathway is considerably smaller, so wouldn't cause damage either.
- During singing their own auditory pathway is exposed to the 100 dB SPL loud self-generated sound.
