The medial geniculate body (MGB) is a small, almond-shaped structure located deep within the temporal lobe of the brain.
The MGB is an integral component of the auditory pathway, receiving and processing sound information from the auditory nerve.
There are two MGBs, one in each cerebral hemisphere, located near the superior colliculus and inferior to the pulvinar nucleus of the thalamus.
The MGB consists of multiple subnuclei, each responsible for processing a specific frequency range of sound.
