*Component items*:
  * [BrainRegionLPC_HT_IVBN Inferior Vestibular Nuclei] (LPC.HT.IVBN): maintain balance, coordinating postural adjustments
  * [BrainRegionLPC_HT_LVBN Lateral Vestibular Nucleus] (LPC.HT.LVBN): controlling body position
  * [BrainRegionLPC_HT_MVBN Medial Vestibular Nucleus] (LPC.HT.MVBN): controlling head position, integrate head and eye movements; maintain balance, coordinating postural adjustments; coordination for horizontal eye movements
  * [BrainRegionLPC_HT_SVBN Superior Vestibular Nucleus] (LPC.HT.SVBN): conscious perception of movement and gravity
