    There are in fact some projections from the nuclei of the lateral
lemniscus to the thalamus that bypass the inferior colliculus.  
I don't have time to find a reference, but most anatomy books
do acknowledge them.  
    Are these inputs major enough to be involved in important 
aspects of auditory processing?  I don't know whether 
this question has been studied much, if at all.
