What is the auditory pathway for sound transduction to the brain?
Mbclimber
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 transmits sound from the inner ear to the brain?
Nerves in the ear respond to the mechanical stress of soundwaves and transmit the stress/sound accoundingly (super simplified answer)
When people hear a sound their ears turn the vibrations in the air into neural messages from the auditory nerve which makes it possible for the brain to interpret the sound This process is called?
Encoding
What carries electrical impulses from the ear to the brain?
sound waves enter the ear canal and cause the eardrum to vibrate.VIBRATIONS pass through 3 connected bones in the middle earThis motion SETS FLUID MOVING in the inner ear.Moving fluid bends thousands of delicate hair-like cells which convert the vibrations into NERVE IMPULSES.Nerve impulses are CARRIED to the brain by the auditory nerveIn the brain, these impulses are CONVERTED into what we "hear" as sound.
Are your eyes connected to your brain by auditory nerves or optic nerves?
The Optic Nerve AKA Cranial Nerve II from eye to brain for sight and Craniel Nerves III (Oculomotor) and IV (Trochlear) for Eye movement.
What part of the brain is responsible for hearing?
The cerebrum controls all senses, memory, and the ability to learn. :) *Sound is processed in the auditory cortex according to my understanding. 2-9-11 HMS
Does the auditory canal carry the message of sound to the brain?
No. The 'message' is carried by the auditory nerve to the brain.
Which nerves carry sound impulses from the inner ear of the brain?
The auditory nerve carries auditory impulses to the brain.
What carries the nerve impulses to the auditory cortex of the brain where they will be perceived sound?
The Auditory Nerve does this.
What nerves carries messages of sound to the brain?
the cochlear nerve
What part of the brain receives sound?
The Auditory Cortex
What auditory nerve is responsible for?
The auditory nerve is responsible for relaying vibrations from the cochlea, in the inner ear, to the brain as electrical impulses. The auditory centre of the brain then interprets these as sound.
What is the nerve that helps transmit sound signals to your brain?
Auditory
What transmits sound from the inner ear to the brain?
Nerves in the ear respond to the mechanical stress of soundwaves and transmit the stress/sound accoundingly (super simplified answer)
What parts in the ear assist in the ability to hear a sound wave from the time the sound enters the ear until it reaches the brain?
The auditory canal to the eardrum then the auditory nerve sends it to the brain for interpretation.
Sound waves from the air travel on the auditory nerve to the brain?
No, electrical impulses generated within the auditory senses do that.
What area brain distinguishing sound quality?
Primary auditory cortex
What type of nerve is the auditory nerve?
In the inner ear, "sound" is translated into electrical energy. This electrical energy is transmitted to the brain via the 8th cranial nerve more commonly called the auditory, acoustic or vestibulocochlear nerve. The brain receives the information and translates it into what we "hear", or at least into what is most important for us to hear at that time.
