<P> In humans , there are on average 30,000 nerve fibers within the cochlear nerve . The number of fibers varies significantly across species ; the domestic cat , for example , has an average of 50,000 fibers . The peripheral axons of auditory nerve fibers form synaptic connections with the hair cells of the cochlea via ribbon synapses using the neurotransmitter glutamate . The central axons form synaptic connections with cells in the cochlear nucleus of the brainstem . </P>
