Cochlear nuclei
These nuclei on the dorsolateral side of the brainstem are innervated by the auditory nerve and form a switching center for information from the auditory system. The efferent neurons of the cochlear nuclei transmit auditory information to downstream switching centers in the brainstem, such as the inferior colliculi.

Olivary bodies
The olivary bodies are two oval structures in the lower part of the brain stem that contain clusters of nerve cell bodies. The lower olive connects the cerebrum to the cerebellum and plays an important role in controlling motor function. The upper olive is part of the auditory pathway. Its neurons can evaluate differences in transit time and level between the right and left ears, thus helping to determine the direction of sound sources.
