MLF

MLF at intermediate medulla

MLF at rostral medulla

- *MLF**: Medial Longitudinal Fasciculus at Pons
- Located in a dorsomedial position within the medulla and pons;
- consists of both ascending and descending axons arising from vestibular nuclei.
- Ascending axons project to nuclei of CN VI, CN IV, and CN III, while descending axons project to the cervical cord.
