[nucleus] prepositus hypoglossus(English)

• lies medial to the MVe and is one site in the brain where there is an interaction between visual and vestibular systems. It is thought to contribute to the maintenance of eye position or gaze in the horizontal plane. The major cytological features of the nucleus appear to be present in all species, including man. Three different types of soma-dendritic architecture were observed: “multidendritic” cells in the caudomedial PrH; (2) small cells in the dorsolateral PrH; and (3) medium-sized “principal” cells in the rostral, central region of the PrH. Because afferents from the vestibular nerve do not terminate in the PrH, it is not included in the vestibular complex strictly speaking
