Which of the Following is Least Related to CN VIII

Question

Which of the following is least related to CN VIII?
A) Vestibular branch
B) Primary auditory cortex
C) Cochlear branch
D) Wernicke's area

Accepted Answer

Wernicke's area is a region in the left hemisphere of the brain that is responsible for language comprehension and is not directly related to CN VIII, which is primarily involved in hearing and balance. Choices A, B, and C are all related to CN VIII as the vestibular branch is involved in balance, the cochlear branch is responsible for hearing, and the primary auditory cortex processes auditory information.
