Pain, Kinesthetic, and Vestibular Senses

Question 4 • Psychology A

Vestibular information travels to all of the following areas of the brain except the __________.

Answer
A
medulla
B
pons
C
cerebellum
D
optic chiasm

Explanation

Vestibular signals from the inner ear travel to brainstem areas, including the medulla and pons, and to the cerebellum, which helps coordinate balance and movement. The optic chiasm is part of the visual pathway, where fibers from the optic nerves cross; it is not a destination for vestibular information. Therefore, the optic chiasm is the exception.
