----
This page covers biological details of component Medial Vestibular Nucleus.
Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.
* *Top-down path to region*: Hindbrain Metencephalon -> [BrainCenterLPC_HT_VBN Vestibular Nuclei] (LPC.HT.VBN) -> [BrainRegionLPC_HT_MVBN Medial Vestibular Nucleus] (LPC.HT.MVBN) (see [OverallMindMaps Mind Maps])
* *Type*: nucleus
* *Quality*: L0
* *Brain area*: [BrainAreaLPC Lower Brain - Peripheral Control Area] (LPC)
* *Area circuit*: Vestibular Sensory and Motor (AVB)
* *Role*: sensory.nucleus
* *Function*: controlling head position, integrate head and eye movements; maintain balance, coordinating postural adjustments; coordination for horizontal eye movements
* *Notes to function*:
* to thoracic, bilateral - medial vestibulospinal tract in MLF
* to CR
* to oculomotor, trochlear, abducens, accessory oculomotor
