Inferior vestibular nucleus (Inf); lateral vestibular nucleus (Lat); medial vestibular nucleus (Med); medial zone (MZ); nucleus prepositus (P); superior vestibular nucleus (Sup); superior vestibular nucleus, central region (Sc); zone I (I). Cells in Sc and zone I receive primary vestibular input and project directly to the ocular motor nuclei. (Redrawn from Büttner-Enneuer JA: Patterns of connectivity in the vestibular nuclei.
