Auditory System Anatomy - Neurophysiologic Considerations. 1  The complex chain of nerve cells in the auditory system helps to process and relay auditory information, encoded in the form of nerve impulses, directly to the highest cerebral levels in the cortex of the brain. To some extent, different properties of the auditory stimulus are conveyed along distinct parallel pathways.
1 Transmit nerve impulses: Nerves are able to transmit impulses along the length of the nerve cell in the form of an electrical signal (like power lines). 2  These electrical signals move from one end of the nerve cell to another and can pass from nerve to nerve (power pole to power pole).. Sensory neurons send impulses from sensory receptors to inform the CNS of a stimulus. A sensory receptor is a structure that recognises a change in its environment. Sensory neurons have long dendrites and short axons.
