Hey, everyone. Let's take a look at this question together. The auditory center of the CNS or central nervous system is what is it? Answer choice. A the superior temporal lobe answer choice B the superior temporal gyrus answer choice C the vestibular cochlear nerve or answer choice D all of the above. Let's work this problem out together to try to figure out which of the following answer choices is the name for the auditory center of the central nervous system. So in order to solve this question, we have to recall what we have learned about the CNS or the central nervous system to determine which of the following answer choices is the name for the auditory center. And we can recall that the primary auditory cortex or a one is located on the superior temporal gyrus in the temporal lobe, which the superior temporal gyrus receives point to point input from the ventral division of the medial geniculate complex. And since the auditory center of the CNS is located on a superior temporal gyrus answer. Choice B superior temporal gyrus is the correct answer. And all other answer choices are incorrect. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
