This page covers biological details of component Lateral Vestibular Nucleus. Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

• Top-down path to region: Hindbrain Metencephalon -> Vestibular Nuclei (LPC.HT.VBN) -> Lateral Vestibular Nucleus (LPC.HT.LVBN) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Quality: L0
• Brain area: Lower Brain - Peripheral Control Area (LPC)
• Area circuit: Vestibular Sensory and Motor (AVB)
• Role: sensory.nucleus
• Function: controlling body position
• Notes to function:
  • to sacral, ipsilateral - lateral vestibulospinal tract
