00:01 Cranial nerve VIII or vestibulocochlear nerve, it's sort of like two nerves in one. 00:08 We can think of the cochlear nerve as the nerve that's connecting to the organ of corti within the cochlea, which is the organ of hearing. 00:16 And that information is going to be passed through the cochlear nerve back to nuclei in the medulla. 00:24 There's also the vestibular component, and the vestibular component will carry information from things like the utricle, saccule and the semicircular canals. 00:32 Also back to nuclei in the medulla.
The lecture Vestibulocochlear Nerve (CN VIII) by Darren Salmi, MD, MS is from the course Neurovasculature of the Head.
