Correlation between hodological subdivisions and classical cytoarchitectonic vestibular nuclei
| Chickena | Mouseb | |
|---|---|---|
| Vestibulo-ocular groups | ||
| iR-VO | Central portion of superior nucleus; small fraction in Deiters' nucleus | Superior nucleus |
| cR-VO | Mostly in lateral inferior cerebellar nucleus of Cajal; small fraction in dorsal part of superior nucleus | Superior nucleus; y-group (infracerebellar nucleus)? |
| iC-VO | Mostly descending nucleus; a few in Deiters' nucleus | |
| cC-VO | Deiters', tangential, medial, descending, abducens nuclei | Lateral (Deiters'), medial, inferior (descending) nuclei |
| Vestibulo-spinal groups | ||
| LVST | Deiters', tangential nuclei | LVST + cMVST + iMVST Lateral (Deiters'), medial, inferior (descending) nuclei |
| iMVST | Descending nucleus | |
| cMVST | Deiters', tangential, descending nuclei | |
| Vestibulo-cerebellar groups | ||
| R-VC | Central portion of superior nucleus, ventral part of Deiters' nucleus | Superior nucleus and ventral y-group |
| C-VC | Descending and medial nuclei | Descending (inferior) and medial nuclei; nucleus prepositus hypoglossi? |
R-VC, Rostral vestibulo-cerebellar; C-VC, caudal vestibulo-cerebellar.
