Intracranial auditory pathways: anatomy correlated with evoked response data.
The intracranial auditory pathways are complex, and they have been incompletely mapped. The purpose of the communication is to summarize what is known about these fibers onto clinically relevant imaging sections. Anatomic information is correlated with the clinical auditory evoked responses currently used to localize lesions in these pathways. This linkage will improve communication between imagers and clinicians. In addition, it can be used for teaching.
