Schematic diagram of the major cell groups mediating vestibulo-autonomic and baroreflex pathways. Although there are vestibular projections to NTS and to CVLM, little converge of this pathway with baroreflex signals occurs prior to processing in the RVLM. Abbreviations: CVLM: caudal ventrolateral medullary region; IML: intermediolateral cell column; NTS: solitary nucleus; RVLM: rostral ventrolateral medulla; VNCc: caudal vestibular nuclear complex.
