| Abstract: | Comparisons were made of projections from the vestibular nuclei (VN) and abducens internuclear neurons (AIN) to cell group A of the medial rectus subdivision (MRS) of the oculomotor nuclear complex. Cell group A, the major component of the MRS, receives projections only from the ipsilateral VN and the contralateral AIN. Neither ipsilateral vestibular projections to cell group A, arising from the medial vestibular nucleus, nor projections from MVN to the opposite abducens nucleus, match the massive projection of AIN to the MRS. |
