A vestibular disorder has a tonic effect on the extraocular muscles through the medial longitudinal fasciculus, which makes it difficult or impossible to track words across a printed page. 34) In the cat, 2 distinct descending tracts are involved--the medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF), with cells originating in the medial pontomedullary reticular formation, and the lateral vestibulospinal tract, with cells originating in the lateral vestibular (Deiters') nucleus. The rostral projections of the vestibular nerve eventually influence the ocular muscles via the medial longitudinal fasciculus, whereas the caudal projections of the vestibular nerve innervate the trunk and lower limb muscles via the vestibulospinal tract. |
