Colliculi
Cerebrum That is a pretty broad area, true that the occipital lobe of the cerebrum is our vision center and the temporarl lobe houses our auditory center, neither of these necessarily controls our reflexes of these senses. I believe the answer that they were looking for is the corpora quadrigemina, part of the midbrain that contains the superior colliculi and the inferioror colliculi, which help us react to/analyze visual and auditory sensations that we encounter
reticular activating system.
The part of the brain stem between the diencephalon and the pons is the midbrain, also known as the mesencephalon. It plays a crucial role in motor movement, auditory and visual processing, and regulating sleep-wake cycles. The midbrain contains structures such as the tectum, tegmentum, and substantia nigra.
medulla obligata pons mid brain there is a forth known as the reticular formation... functions of each as well, medulla oblonga: innate relfexes, eg. vommiting, coughing, sneezing pons: reflexes mid brain: visual reticular formation: sleep and wake cycle
The brainstem is composed of three main parts: the medulla oblongata, pons, and midbrain. The medulla controls vital functions like breathing and heart rate, while the pons is involved in functions such as sleep, swallowing, and facial expressions. Together, these structures help regulate basic bodily functions and serve as a pathway for nerve fibers traveling between the brain and the spinal cord.
The midbrain consists of three major regions: the tectum, tegmentum, and cerebral peduncles. The tectum includes structures like the superior and inferior colliculi, involved in sensory processing. The tegmentum houses structures important for motor control and arousal, while the cerebral peduncles contain fibers connecting the cortex to the brainstem.

Visual: Superior Colliculi and Corpa Quadrigemina Auditory: Inferior Colliculi and Corpa Quadrigemina
The area located in the midbrain that contains reflex centers for vision and hearing is known as the tectum. Specifically, it comprises the superior colliculi, which are involved in visual reflexes, and the inferior colliculi, which are involved in auditory reflexes. These structures play crucial roles in processing sensory information and coordinating reflexive responses to visual and auditory stimuli.

Corpora quadrigemina is located in mesencephalon (midbrain). It lies above and in front of the anterior medullary velum and superior peduncle, and below and behind the third ventricle and posterior commissure.
