Animals tend to get excited when their inferior colliculus is stimulated. In many ways, it is like they have received a shot of b12 or adrenaline. While some may perform frenzy like acts, most animals will still maintain control as to not attract potential predators.

What is the auditory pathway for sound transduction to the brain?
When hair cells within the cochlea are stimulated by sound wave vibrations, they stimulate nearby sensory neurons of the spiral ganglion. The signals then get sent to the cochlear nerve and then to the vestibulocholear nerve (CN VII). These signals then get sent to the cochlear nucleus of the medulla oblongata which then get relayed to the inferior colliculus of the midbrain. These signals then get sent to the thalmus where they are relayed to the auditory cortex where specific areas process the pitch and frequency of the sound. The reflexatory response to sound is directed by the inferior colliculus (ie turn head toward sound) Actually, there are two errors in your answer. First: it is vestibulocochlear Second: it is cranial nerve VIII

What is the corpora quadrigemina?
Raises four domelike protrusions on the dorsal mid-brain surface. The superior pair, the superior colliculus are visual reflex centers that coordinate head and eye movements when visually following a moving object even if not consciously knowing you are doing so. The inferior pair, the inferior colliculusare part of auditory relay from hearing receptors of the ear to the sensory cortex. They also act in reflexive responses to sound, such as the startle reflex which causes you to turn your head toward an unexpected noise.
