One of four vestibular nuclei. Characteristically located medial and dorsal to the restiform body, and traversed by myelinated bundles.
Fibers project onto neurons in the nucleus solitarius located in close proximity to the tract.
Rootlets of hypoglossal nerve course in tegmentum of medulla between the medial lemniscus and inferior olive. Coursing in the tegmentum of the medulla oblongata between the medial lemniscus and the inferior olive. Exit from the ventral surface of the medulla between the pyramid and inferior olive. A component of the inferior olivary complex located dorsal to the principal olive. Neurons of origin are from various brain stem nuclei, but with a major vestibular component.
