vestibular nucleus

The vestibular nuclei on either sides of the brain stem exchange signals regarding movement and body position.

The vestibular nuclei receive information through the vestibulocochlear nerve about changes in the orientation of the head.

Much of this information is processed at an unconscious level (mainly by the cerebellum and the vestibular nuclei).

They project to the vestibular nuclei.

The most notable exception is the direct inhibition of the vestibular nuclei by Purkinje cells.

This region of the cerebellum has important connections to the vestibular nuclei and uses information about head movement to influence eye movement.

Lesions of the vestibular nucleus impair function.

This is likely due to modifications of intrinsic excitability in the neurons of the vestibular nucleus.

Their axons contact the cerebellar and Deiters vestibular nucleus as their only target.

This movement stimulates the vestibular nerve as well as the vestibular nucleus.

The vestibular nuclei in particular has been identified as being closely related to dreaming during the REM stage of sleep.

They are, with the minor exception of the nearby vestibular nuclei, the sole sources of output from the cerebellum.

The vestibular nuclei are the cranial nuclei for the vestibular nerve.

The medial vestibular nucleus is one of the vestibular nuclei.

It receives input from the vestibular nuclei and contributes to vestibular neuronal activity.

Vestibular nuclei have been shown to span all the rhombomeres, some correlating with the boundaries of the rhombomeres.

Nerve fibers attached to these hair cells carry signals to the vestibular nuclei in the brain, which are then used to gain information about the body's position.

"vestibular area" - lateral to sulcus limitans vestibular nuclei is overlied by this.

The lateral vestibular nuclei receive input from cerebellum, particularly the vestibulocerebellum, or the flocculi and nodulus.

These impulses travel along the vestibular portion of the eighth cranial nerve to the vestibular nuclei in the brainstem.

The cochlear and vestibular nuclei, which contain the special somatic afferent (SSA) column.

Facilitatory signals arrive through the ventral reticulospinal tract from Brodmann area 4, the neocerebellum and the vestibular nucleus.

The medial vestibulospinal tract originates in the medial vestibular nucleus or Schwalbe's nucleus.

Nystagmus and vertigo, which may result in falling, caused from involvement of the region of Deiters' nucleus and other vestibular nuclei.

The vestibulo-oculomotor fibers are the portion of the medial longitudinal fasciculus which ascends to the oculomotor nucleus from the vestibular nuclei.
