Physiology of balance and hearing

Hearing

General	Auditory system Bone conduction Otoacoustic emission Tullio phenomenon
Pathway	inner ear: Hair cells → Spiral ganglion → Cochlear nerve ^VIII → pons: Cochlear nucleus (Anterior, Dorsal) → Trapezoid body → Superior olivary nuclei → midbrain: Lateral lemniscus → Inferior colliculi → thalamus: Medial geniculate nuclei → cerebrum: Acoustic radiation → Primary auditory cortex

Balance

General	Vestibular system
Pathway	inner ear: Vestibular nerve ^VIII → pons: Vestibular nuclei (Medial vestibular nucleus, Lateral vestibular nucleus) cerebellum: Flocculonodular lobe spinal cord: Vestibulospinal tract (Medial vestibulospinal tract, Lateral vestibulospinal tract) thalamus: Ventral posterolateral nucleus cerebrum: Vestibular cortex Vestibulo-oculomotor fibers
