Vestibulocerebellum

Question 1

What is the input to the vestibulocerebellum?

Answer 1

Vestibular System

Question 2

Describe the route of information within the vestibulocerebellum

Answer 2

Info comes onto the vestibular nuclei via the vestibulocochlear nerve
Info is processed in the flooculonodular lobe
Output is onto the medial and lateral vestibular nuclei
From there, info is sent down the medial and lateral vestibulospinal tracts
The medial vestibulospinal tract terminates at all levels of the cervical spine and supports the head
The lateral vestibulospinal tract terminates at all levels of the spine and maintains upright anti-gravity posture
