vestibulospinal

This is the result of the vestibulospinal reflex working correctly.

One of these projections, the vestibulospinal tract, is responsible for upright posture and head stabilization.

Generally damage to the vestibulospinal system results in ataxia and postural instability.

The nuclei relay motor commands through the vestibulospinal tract.

Finally, vestibulospinal neurons have been shown to differentiate in three neighboring rhombomeres, specifically r4, r5, and r6.

The vestibulospinal tract is part of the "extrapyramidal system" of the central nervous system.

The vestibulospinal tract is one of these four motor tracts developed from these progenitor cells.

Other fibers are said to pass directly to the vestibulospinal fasciculus without passing into the posterior longitudinal bundle.

The fibers which pass into the vestibulospinal fasciculus are intimately concerned with equilibratory reflexes.

The medial vestibulospinal tract innervates neck muscles in order to stabilize head position as one moves around the world.

These impulses are transmitted down both the lateral and medial vestibulospinal tracts to the spinal cord.

They defined vestibulospinal function by ability to have proper posture, as well as by self reported dizziness.

Vestibulospinal tracts: The importance is involved in the control of postural adjustments and head movements as well as balance maintenance.

The lateral vestibulospinal tract is a group of descending extrapyramidal motor neurons, or efferent fibers.

When an individual sways to the left side, the left lateral vestibulospinal tract is activated to bring the body back to midline.

The medial vestibulospinal tract is one of the descending spinal tracts of the ventromedial pathway.

Through this superior projection, the medial vestibulospinal tract is involved in "yoking" the eyes together in response to rapid movement of the head.

The vestibulospinal tract is an upper motor neuron tract consisting of two sub-pathways:

Like other descending motor pathways, the vestibulospinal fibers of the tract relay information from nuclei to motor neurons.

Using phosphorylated retrograde labeling, it has been shown that vestibulospinal groups correspond mostly to single rhombomeres rather than over several rhombomeric regions.

The lateral vestibulospinal tract provides excitatory signals to interneurons, which relay the signal to the motor neurons in antigravity muscles.

Initiation of a movement starts by inducing stepping through reticulospinal and vestibulospinal projection in ventromedial descending brainstem pathways.

The vestibulospinal tract, as well as tectospinal and reticulospinal tracts are examples of components of the medial pathway.

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

The vestibulospinal reflex uses the vestibular organs as well as skeletal muscle in order to maintain balance, posture, and stability in an environment with gravity.
