The Brain Practice Test

Hippocampus, which relays auditory signals directly to primary auditory cortex while consolidating episodic memories.

Cerebellum, which relays auditory signals and constructs conscious sound perception while also controlling respiration.

Pons, which helps coordinate movement and houses sleep-related functions, serving as the main auditory relay to cortex.

Thalamus, including auditory relay nuclei, which route sensory information toward appropriate cortical regions for processing.
