The vestibulospinal tract is a nerve tract in the central nervous system. Specifically, it is a component of the extrapyramidal system and is classified as a component of the medial pathway. Like other descending motor pathways, the vestibulospinal fibers of the tract relay information from nuclei to motor neurons. [1]
The lateral vestibulospinal tract is one of the descending spinal tracts of the ventromedial funiculus.. The lateral part of the vestibulospinal tract is the major portion and is composed of fibers originating in the lateral, superior, and inferior vestibular nuclei (primarily the lateral).
The medial vestibulospinal tract is one of the descending spinal tracts of the ventromedial funiculus of the spinal cord. It is found only in the cervical spine and above. The medial part of the vestibulospinal tract is the smaller part, and is primarily made of fibers from the medial vestibular nucleus.
The medial vestibular nucleus (Schwalbe nucleus) is one of the vestibular nuclei.It is located in the medulla oblongata.. Lateral vestibulo-spinal tract (lateral vestibular nucleus “Deiters”)- via ventrolateral medulla and spinal cord to ventral funiculus (lumbo-sacral segments). ..
The medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF) is a prominent bundle of nerve fibres which pass within the ventral/anterior portion of periaqueductal gray of the mesencephalon (midbrain). [1] It contains the interstitial nucleus of Cajal , responsible for oculomotor control, head posture, and vertical eye movement.

These tracts are in turn modulated by various parts of the central nervous system, including the nigrostriatal pathway, the basal ganglia, the cerebellum, the vestibular nuclei, and different sensory areas of the cerebral cortex. All of these regulatory components can be considered part of the extrapyramidal system, in that they modulate motor ...
The cupula has a small inertia compared to the elastic force (due to the jelly) and the viscous force (due to the endolymph), so T 1 is very small compared to T 2. For humans, the time constants T 1 and T 2 are approximately 5 ms and 20 s, respectively. [5] As a result, for typical head movements, which cover the frequency range of 0.1 Hz and ...
