Definition
English
:
The 8th cranial nerve. The
vestibulocochlear nerve
has a cochlear part (COCHLEAR NERVE) which is concerned with
hearing
and a vestibular part (VESTIBULAR NERVE) which mediates the sense of balance and
head
position. The fibers of the
cochlear nerve
originate from
neurons
of the
SPIRAL GANGLION
and project to the cochlear nuclei (COCHLEAR NUCLEUS). The fibers of the
vestibular nerve
arise from
neurons
of Scarpa's ganglion and project to the
VESTIBULAR NUCLEI.
