The commissure of inferior colliculus, also called the commissure of inferior colliculi is a prominent connection in the midbrain which is primarily responsible for coordinating auditory processing between the two sides of the brain.[1] This commissure consists of a thin white matter structure made of myelinated axons of neurons and joins the paired inferior colliculi.[2]
