The Divisions and Projections of the Vestibular Nuclear Complex in the Rat

The vestibular system is a highly conserved sensory system in vertebrates that is largely responsible for maintenance of animal orientation in space,posture,and balance and play an important role in muscle tone regulation and oculomotor and autonomic outflow.The vestibular nuclear complex is the center of the vestibular primary afferent and connected with many nucleus and regions in the central nervous system.This article was mainly described the achievement as the divisions of vestibular nuclear complex and its fibers connection on morphological observation in last years.
