Preferred Label : ventral cochlear nucleus;
Uberon definition : The ventral cochlear nucleus (or anterior, or accessory), placed between the two divisions
of the cochlear nerve, is on the ventral aspect of the inferior peduncle. Composed
of several regions of distinct cell types, this nucleus serves primarily as a relay
station for ascending auditory information. Bushy cells in the anterior ventral cochlear
nucleus (AVCN), which receive end bulbs of held from auditory nerve fibers, project
to the superior olivary complex through the trapezoid body and intermediate acoustic
stria. Other cell types project to the lateral lemniscus and the inferior colliculus
directly. [WP,unvetted].;
