Lastly, the auditory cortex receives and interprets the auditory information that is perceived.

The kettle made hissing sounds as the water boiled.

The cochlear nucleus receives the electrical impulses from the cochlea and sends it to both the right and left side of the ascending tract.

# data[].attributes.body
The Superior Olivary Nucleus then receives the electrical impulse and begins the process of interpreting and combining information.  Through the process of sound localization, it estimates the time difference and intensity between each ear.

The Inferior Colliculus then projects the information to the medial geniculate found in the thalamus.

The Medial Geniculate Nucleus then receives the information from the brainstem and sends it to the auditory cortex.

The Lateral Lemniscus then receives the information from the Superior Olivary Nucleus and carries it to the Inferior Colliculus in the midbrain.

The cochlear nerve also called the auditory nerve, carries auditory information from the inner ear to the brain.

The inner ear contains the snail-shaped organ cochlea

# data[].attributes.body
Because of the connection of the stapes to the cochlea through the oval window, it causes the fluid inside to move. As a result, this bends the stereocilia found in the organ of Corti which transforms the mechanical energy into electrical impulses.

The sound waves from the kettle first go to the auricle/pinna which then travels to the external auditory meatus/ear canal and lastly into the tympanic membrane/eardrum.

# data[].attributes.body
As the eardrum continues to vibrate, it then causes the Malleus/Hammer, Incus/Anvil, and Stapes/Stirrup to move therefore transforming the vibrations into mechanical energy.
