  • Title: Studies on the integrative activity of the vestibular nuclei complex.
    Author: Schwarz DW, Rubin AM, Tomlinson RD, Milne AC, Fredrickson JM.
    Journal: Can J Otolaryngol; 1975; 4(2):378-82. PubMed ID: 1079746.
    Abstract:
    Central mechanisms currently used in clinical vestibular tests are far more complex than generally thought. The first synaptic station, the vestibular nuclei, represents a sensory-motor centre integrating vestibular impulses with proprioceptive afferents from muscles and joints. This convergence can be found on cells with long axons projecting to the oculo-motor system, to the spinal cord and to the thalamus as well as on cells without long projecting axons. There are also vestibulo-motor cells transmitting pure vestibular information.
