Component items:

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