a. Primary visual cortex
b. The suprachiasmiatic nucleus (SCN) in the hypothalamus
c. The superior colliculus in the tectum

The Glossopharyngeal nerve (cranial nerve IX) is a “mixed nerve,” meaning that it carries sensory and motor information. One of the functions of this nerve is carrying taste information from the caudal third of the tongue. The fibers that carry this information in the glossopharyngeal nerve are classified as which component type?
a. Special efferent
b. Special afferent
c. General visceral efferent
d. General somatic afferent
Sensory impulses transmitted over the facial, glossopharyngeal, and vagus nerves are involved in the special sense of (a) taste, (b) vision, (c) equilibrium, (d) smell.
Which of the following sensory modalities would not be directly affected by a defect in the thalamus?
A.) taste
