Figure 9.

Schematic diagram of the major cell groups mediating vestibulo-autonomic (red) and baroreflex pathways (green). Although there are vestibular projections to NTS and to CVLM, little convergence of this pathway with baroreflex signals occurs prior to processing in the RVLM. Regions receiving significant convergent baroreflex and vestibulo-sympathetic reflex inputs are indicated in yellow. See text for details. Abbreviations: CVLM, caudal ventrolateral medullary region; IML, intermediolateral cell column; NTS, solitary nucleus; RVLM, rostral ventrolateral medulla; VNC, vestibular nuclear complex.
