Neural Pathways and Information Processing in Auditory and Vestibular Systems

Explore the primary and association cortex's role in processing sound and head motion signals through neural pathways involving receptors, stimuli, and conscious perception. Discover how information is transmitted from the inner ear to the brain for auditory and vestibular functions. Unravel the complex pathway from sound reception in the cochlea to signal interpretation in the cortex, as well as the vestibular labyrinth's involvement in interpreting head motion and gravity cues.
