Anterior inferior cerebellar artery

The anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) is one of three pairs of arteries that supplies blood to the cerebellum.

Brainstem

The brainstem (or brain stem) is the posterior part of the brain, adjoining and structurally continuous with the spinal cord.

Cerebellum

The cerebellum (Latin for "little brain") is a major feature of the hindbrain of all vertebrates.

Cranial nerve nucleus

A cranial nerve nucleus is a collection of neurons (gray matter) in the brain stem that is associated with one or more cranial nerves.

Fourth ventricle

The fourth ventricle is one of the four connected fluid-filled cavities within the human brain.

Inferior vestibular nucleus

The inferior vestibular nucleus is the vestibular nucleus which lies near the fourth ventricle.

Lateral vestibular nucleus

The lateral vestibular nucleus (Deiters's nucleus) is the continuation upward and lateralward of the principal nucleus, and in it terminate many of the ascending branches of the vestibular nerve.

Medial vestibular nucleus

The medial vestibular nucleus is one of the vestibular nuclei.

Medulla oblongata

The medulla oblongata (or medulla) is located in the brainstem, anterior and partially inferior to the cerebellum.

Oculomotor nerve

The oculomotor nerve is the third cranial nerve.

Pons

The pons (Latin for "bridge") is part of the brainstem, and in humans and other bipeds lies inferior to the midbrain, superior to the medulla oblongata and anterior to the cerebellum.

Posterior inferior cerebellar artery

The posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA), the largest branch of the vertebral artery, is one of the three main arterial blood supplies for the cerebellum, part of the brain.

Rhomboid fossa

The rhomboid fossa is a rhombus-shaped depression that is the anterior part of the fourth ventricle.

New!!: Vestibular nuclei and Rhomboid fossa · See more »

Superior vestibular nucleus

The superior vestibular nucleus (Bechterew's nucleus) is the dorso-lateral part of the vestibular nucleus and receives collaterals and terminals from the ascending branches of the vestibular nerve.

Tegmentum

The tegmentum (from Latin for "covering") is a general area within the brainstem.

Terminologia Anatomica

Terminologia Anatomica (TA) is the international standard on human anatomic terminology.

Trigeminal nerve

The trigeminal nerve (the fifth cranial nerve, or simply CN V) is a nerve responsible for sensation in the face and motor functions such as biting and chewing; it is the largest of the cranial nerves.

Vestibular nerve

The vestibular nerve is one of the two branches of the vestibulocochlear nerve (the cochlear nerve being the other).

New!!: Vestibular nuclei and Vestibular nerve · See more »

Vestibular system

The vestibular system, in most mammals, is the sensory system that provides the leading contribution to the sense of balance and spatial orientation for the purpose of coordinating movement with balance. Together with the cochlea, a part of the auditory system, it constitutes the labyrinth of the inner ear in most mammals.

Vestibulo–ocular reflex

The vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) is a reflex, where activation of the vestibular system causes eye movement.

Vestibulocerebellar syndrome

Vestibulocerebellar syndrome, also known as vestibulocerebellar ataxia, is a progressive neurological disorder that causes a variety of medical problems.

Vestibulospinal tract

The vestibulospinal tract is a neural tract in the central nervous system.
