Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Axons from neurons in the medial and lateral geniculate nuclei primarily terminate in Layer IV of the cerebral cortex. The medial geniculate body is part of the auditory pathway, and the lateral geniculate nucleus is part of the visual pathway. Layer IV is known for receiving thalamocortical inputs, which is consistent with the role of these geniculate nuclei in sensory processing.
