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.
The vestibulocochlear nerve is a sensory nerve that conducts auditory and vestibular information from the inner ear to the brain.Auditory functions manage hearing, while vestibular functions serve to maintain balance and awareness of the body's position.nce referred to as the auditory or acoustic nerve, the vestibulocochlear nerve begins in the medulla oblongata, or the lower portion of the brain stem. It then travels alongside the facial nerve and enters the inner ear through the internal acoustic meatus, a hole in the temporal bone of the skull.
