Figure 6. Functional pathways of the vestibular system.

Figure 6.

(A) The two main cell types in vestibular nuclei are vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) neurons (top), which are involved in visual stability, and vestibular-only (VO) neurons (bottom), which are responsible for maintaining postural and gait stability. (B) Vestibular signals travel through two different pathways to reach the anterior and posterior parts of the thalamus, which are involved in navigation and self-motion perception, respectively.
