The CNS contains varieties of neuroanatomical arrangements that
underlie important functions. One such arrangement involves the functions of the olivocochlear bundle. Which of the following statements concerning the olivocochlear bundle correctly describes its principal function?
a. It arises from the inferior olivary nucleus and projects to the cochlea
b. Stimulation of it inhibits acoustic fiber responses to auditory stimuli
c. It communicates directly with the medial lemniscus
d. It can be seen easily in brainstem sections taken from the upper pons
e. It is part of the ascending auditory pathway to the dorsal cochlea nucleus
