1
Q

Where are the cell bodies for primary afferents of CN VIII (cochlear part)?

Where do they enter the brainstem?

Where do they synapse?

A

Cell bodies are in the spiral ganglion.

They enter the brainstem at the pontomedullary junction.

Q

Monaural tract (5)

A
  1. Cell bodies from DCN cross to CL via dorsal acoustic stria (pons)
