-
refers to a combination of nuclei and regions in the ventral pontine tegmentum. Identified on the basis of topology it is bounded ventrally by fibers of the trapezoid body ( Carpenter-1983 ). It is composed of the superior olive, the trapezoid nucleus, and the periolivary region( Amunts-2012 ). Functionally it is part of the subcortical auditory system ( Swanson-2004 ).
-
refers to a composite structure of the subcortical auditory system in the functional CNS model. It includes the superior olive and, in primates, the periolivary region; in rodents, the periolivary region - obsolete ( Swanson-2004 ). It is the same as the classical superior olivary complex except that it does not include the trapezoid nucleus.
