Vestibulosympathetic reflex pathway. Neurons in the caudal portions of the vestibular nuclei provide both direct and multisynaptic inputs to neurons in the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) with projections to sympathetic preganglionic neurons in the thoracic spinal cord. Multisynaptic pathways from the vestibular nuclei to the RVLM include relays in nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS), caudal ventrolateral medulla (CVLM), and other regions of the reticular formation including the medullary lateral tegmental field.
