The nucleus of the cochlear nerve consists of: (a) the lateral cochlear nucleus, corresponding to the tuberculum acusticum on the dorso-lateral surface of the inferior peduncle; and (b) the ventral or accessory cochlear nucleus, placed between the two divisions of the nerve, on the ventral aspect of the inferior peduncle.
The nucleus fastigii is somewhat larger than the other two, and is situated close to the middle line at the anterior end of the superior vermis, and immediately over the roof of the fourth ventricle, from which it is separated by a thin layer of white substance.
696, 697), the somatic motor nucleus of the glossopharyngeal, vagus and cranial portion of the accessory nerves, is the continuation into the medulla oblongata of the dorso-lateral cell group of the anterior column of the spinal cord.

At the level where mesencephalic trigeminal nucleus took a large dimension, the cellular mass of the medial group of the motor trigeminal nucleus was reduced.
The medial cellular patch of the motor trigeminal nucleus at this level represents the absolute territorial domain of the mylohyoid muscle, no other muscle is sharing or overlapping this area of the nucleus.

Its large multipolar cells are like those in the anterior column of the cord; they form a slender column in the deep part of the formatio reticularis grisea about midway between the dorsal accessory olive and the nucleus of the spinal tract of the trigeminal.
This consists of fibers which arise from the cells of the cochlear nucleus, and will be referred to in connection with the cochlear division of the acoustic nerve.
Rudimentary in man, but well developed in certain animals, it exhibits the same structure as the inferior olivary nucleus, and is situated immediately above it.

The posterior layer covers the antero-inferior surface of the cerebellum, while the anterior is applied to the structures which form the lower part of the roof of the ventricle, and is continuous inferiorly with the pia mater on the inferior peduncles and closed part of the medulla.
The fibers of the vestibular nerve enter the medulla oblongata on the medial side of those of the cochlear, and pass between the inferior peduncle and the spinal tract of the trigeminal.
The head of the posterior column forms a long nucleus, in which the fibers of the spinal tract of the trigeminal nerve largely end.

The hypoglossal nerve, cranial nerve XII, is a pure motor nerve, innervating the muscles of the tongue.  It obtains supranuclear innervation from the contralateral motor cortex.  The nucleus of the hypoglossal nerve sits in the medial aspect of the medulla, near the floor of the fourth ventricle and exits the skull through the hypoglossal canal.
The vestibular nerve is composed of nerve fibers from the labyrinth of the inner ear, which converge on the vestibular ganglion within the internal auditory meatus and travel alongside the cochlear nerve to terminate on the vestibular nuclei within the lower pons.  The vestibular nuclei have connections to:
The sensory component of the facial nerve consists of the lingual nerve, which innervates the anterior two thirds of the tongue and sensory branches, which in turn innervate the external auditory meatus.

In other words, the rhesus monkey auditory system, beginning at the level of the medial geniculate nucleus (or even the cochlear nuclei), is organized both serially and in parallel, with A1 and R both receiving direct input from the ventral part of the medial geniculate nucleus.
We conclude that the cortical auditory system of primates is divided into at least two processing streams, a spatial stream that originates in the caudal part of the superior temporal gyros and projects to the parietal cortex, and a pattern or object stream originating in the more anterior portions of the lateral belt.

Rauschecker* and Biao Tian Georgetown Institute for Cognitive and Computational Sciences, Washington, DC 20007 The functional specialization and hierarchical organization of mul- tiple areas in rhesus monkey auditory cortex were examined with various types of complex sounds.

Trends in sperm evolution, from a morphology in the argenvillei and aphanes groups which is close to that of 'primitive' sperm, include elongation of the nucleus and development of a pointed conical acrosome in the cochlear group; development of a rounded posterior acrosome love in the concolor group; and numerous other described changes.
Examples of such structural differences are the development of an elongate anterior acrosomal process in H.
Phylogenetic parsimony analysis of sperm ultrastructure allows recognition in South African patellid limpets of four monophyletic groups: the argenvillei group (3 species); the aphanes group (2 species); the concolor group (6 species) and a more heterogeneous cochlear group (3 Patella species and dubiously associated with these, species of the generaHelcion, Nacella and Cellana).
