One of these projections, the vestibulospinal tract, is responsible for upright posture and head stabilization.

The nuclei relay motor commands through the vestibulospinal tract.

The vestibulospinal tract is part of the "extrapyramidal system" of the central nervous system.

The vestibulospinal tract is one of these four motor tracts developed from these progenitor cells.

The medial vestibulospinal tract innervates neck muscles in order to stabilize head position as one moves around the world.

These impulses are transmitted down both the lateral and medial vestibulospinal tracts to the spinal cord.

Vestibulospinal tracts: The importance is involved in the control of postural adjustments and head movements as well as balance maintenance.

The lateral vestibulospinal tract is a group of descending extrapyramidal motor neurons, or efferent fibers.

When an individual sways to the left side, the left lateral vestibulospinal tract is activated to bring the body back to midline.

The medial vestibulospinal tract is one of the descending spinal tracts of the ventromedial pathway.

Through this superior projection, the medial vestibulospinal tract is involved in "yoking" the eyes together in response to rapid movement of the head.

The vestibulospinal tract is an upper motor neuron tract consisting of two sub-pathways:

The lateral vestibulospinal tract provides excitatory signals to interneurons, which relay the signal to the motor neurons in antigravity muscles.

The vestibulospinal tract, as well as tectospinal and reticulospinal tracts are examples of components of the medial pathway.

The medial vestibulospinal tract originates in the medial vestibular nucleus or Schwalbe's nucleus.

The lateral vestibulospinal tract excites antigravity muscles in order to exert control over postural changes necessary to compensate for tilts and movements of the body.

These are the rubrospinal tract, the vestibulospinal tract, the tectospinal tract and the reticulospinal tract.

The medial part of the vestibulospinal tract is the smaller part, and is primarily made of fibers from the medial vestibular nucleus.

Unlike the lateral vestibulospinal tract, the medial vestibulospinal tract innervates muscles that support the head.

It also carries the descending tectospinal tract and medial vestibulospinal tracts into the cervical spinal cord, and innervates some muscles of the neck and upper limbs.

When the vestibular sensory neurons detect small movements of the body, the vestibulospinal tract commands motor signals to specific muscles to counteract these movements and re-stabilize the body.

Recent research has shown that damage to the medial vestibulospinal tract alters vestibular evoked myogenic potential in the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM), which are involved in head rotation.

Fibres from the lateral vestibular nucleus also pass via the vestibulospinal tract, to anterior horn cells at many levels in the spinal cord, in order to co-ordinate head and trunk movements.

The medial vestibulospinal tract projects bilaterally from the medial vestibular nucleus within the medial longitudinal fasciculus to the ventral horns in the upper cervical cord (C6 vertebra).

The lateral part of the vestibulospinal tract is the major portion and is composed of fibers originating in the lateral, superior, and inferior vestibular nuclei (primarily the lateral).
