Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The vestibular nucleus of the medulla sends axons to the cerebellum (A) for balance and coordination, to the extrinsic eye muscles (B) via the medial longitudinal fasciculus for the vestibulo-ocular reflex, and to the thalamus (D) for conscious perception of balance. The semicircular canals (C) send information to the vestibular nucleus, not the other way around.
