Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The vestibular nucleus is responsible for receiving direct sensory information about balance from the inner ear.

The reticular formation, tectum, and red nucleus are involved in various functions such as regulation of sleep and arousal, visual and auditory processing, and motor control, but they are not specifically involved in balance.
