Human anatomy, including structure and development and practical considerations . the motor nerves, including probably the facial, are bnjught under the intluence of audi-tory impulses. Within the tract of the fillet and a short distance beyond the superior olive, isencountered a group of nerve-cells, the nucleus of the lateral fillet (nucleus lemnisci lateralis).While numerous additions to the tillet are received from these cells, their relation to the cochlearfibres is uncertain. The characteristics, course and destination of the lateral fillet have beenelsewhere described (page 1082). Suffice it here to recall that, so far as the auditory fibres areconcerned, the tract terminates chiefly in the inferior colliculus of the quadrigemina and themedian geniculate body. In addition to its constituents through the corpus trapezoides, the lateral fillet receives con-siderable accessions of cochlear fibres by way of the striae acusticae. These strands consist ofthe axones, for the most part, of the cells lying within the tuberculuni acusticum, but to a limited Fig. Diagram showing connections of auditory nerve ; cochlear fibres and connections are in black, vestibular in red ;C, cochlea; GS, ganglion spirale; I AC. internal auditory canal ; VC, DC, ventral and dorsal cochlear nuclei; RB,restiforni body ; SO, superior olive ; TB, trapezoid body : Ac St, acoustic striae ; Nlf, nucleus of lateral fillet [LF);MF, median fillet;/(), inferior quadrigeminal body; MG, median geniculate body: W^, auditory radiation ; TC,temporal cortex; 7, thalamus; SC, semicircular canal; J^-, vestibule; VG, vestibular ganglion; MV, medianvestibular nucleus; DN, lateral (Deiters) vestibular nucleus; Ki/, vestibulo-spinal fibre; CiJ, cerebellum. extent also of the axones of the ventral cochlear nucleus, which wind over the latero-dorsalsurface of the inferior cerebellar jieduncle, pass medially beneath the ependyma of the floor ofthe fourth ventricle as far as the median groove, and, crossi
