Term
Cochlear Nucleus Complex:
When we do an EcoG or ABR we are looking for the response of the ___ neuron.

Term
SOC:
-Time difference in the ___ SOC.

-Freq. below 3000 Hz are processed in the ___ SO. Head shadow effect is not as meaningful ___ 3000 Hz.
Definition
medial; Inhibitory; excitatory; medial; above
Term
SOC:
-___ freq. info doesn't give us good info about timing or phase of sound so it is processed differently
-Interaural intensity difference is from the ___ SO. Use ___ freq. sound to get intensity difference. High freq. sound ___ more rapidly because of the length of the wave. Above ___ Hz.
-These 2 processes are occurring in a ___ fashion at the same time. This is where we get ___
Definition
High; lateral; high; decreases; 3000; parallel; localization
Term
Where does sound go after the SOC?
Definition
The lateral lemniscus
Term
What is the lateral lemniscus (LL) mainly responsible for?
Definition
The startle reflex
Term
____ reflex causes neck muscles to move in response to sound.
Definition
Startle
Term
LL:
-Would not have as ___ of a startle reflex without LL
-If you have a hyper active startle response you may be sending info to the LL to be ___ ___
Definition
large; hyper aware
Term
LL:
-Both part of a ___ tract and has a nucleus in it. Located posterior laterally in the ___ ___ in the lateral surface of the brain. Still in the ___.
-Has 2 main divisions: the ___ nuclei and the ___ nuclei. There is a 3rd section but isn't well known (inferior nuclei)
Definition
fiber; upper pons; brainstem; ventral; dorsal
Term
Where does the LL get input from?
Definition
The contralateral and ipsi CN and the SOC; There are 4 different routes that info is arriving from
Term
Inferior Colliculus (IC):
-All ___ info synapses here. Very high in the brainstem-above ___ ventricle. If you had a growth in the 4th ventricle it would affect everything from the ___ down.
-___ stop in the IC. If you have damage here nothing will move beyond the ___. It is large portion of the BS.
-The superior colliculus contains ___ information
Definition
ascending; 4th; LL; Obligatory; brainstem; visual
Term
The IC provides some of the info that creates the response for a ___ reflex

Term
What are the 3 divisions of the IC?
Definition
