The dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN also known as the tuberculum acusticum) is a cortex-like structure on the dorso-lateral surface of the brainstem. Along with the ventral cochlear nucleus (VCN) it forms the cochlear nucleus (CN) where all auditory nerve fibers from the cochlea form their first synapses.
