* Lateral Geniculate Nucleus (LGN): This is a part of the thalamus located in the midbrain. It is a relay center for visual information from the eyes to the visual cortex in the occipital lobe.
* Medial Geniculate Nucleus (MGN): Located in the thalamus as well, the MGN is a relay center for auditory information from the ears to the auditory cortex in the temporal lobe.
So, "where is the geniculate?" depends on which geniculate nucleus you're asking about. Both are located in the thalamus of the brain.
