Which of the following is the auditory relay Centre and Centre that controls reflex movement of eyes?
- A. Forebrain
- B. Cerebellum
- C. Midbrain
- D. Cerebellum
Explanation
The midbrain carries four swellings, the corpora quadrigemina, of which the upper pair handle visual reflexes such as turning the eyes and head towards a movement and the lower pair relay auditory information. The cerebellum coordinates balance and fine movement but relays neither sound nor visual reflexes. Note that options (b) and (d) were printed identically in the original paper, which is a misprint in the paper itself and does not affect the correct answer.
