The auditory system does
not just receive inputs from the ear, but from other sensory systems as well.
And it sensd information to the other sensory parts of the brain. For
example, the superior colliculus is part of the visual system. There are
extensive connections between the auditory pathway and the superior
colliculus. The superior colliculus contains a map of space. Neurons respond
when something happens in a particular place in space, whehter the event is
auditory, visual or both.
