The acoustic tubercle is a Nucleus (neuroanatomy), nucleus on the end of the cochlear nerve. The cochlear nerve is lateral to the root of the vestibular nerve. Its fibers end in two nuclei: one, the accessory nucleus, lies immediately in front of the inferior peduncle; the other, the acoustic tubercle, somewhat lateral to it.
