The vestibulo-oculomotor fibers are the portion of the medial longitudinal fasciculus which ascends to the oculomotor nucleus from the vestibular nuclei.

Physiology of balance and hearing

Hearing

General	Auditory system Bone conduction Otoacoustic emission Tullio phenomenon

Pathway	inner ear: Hair cells → Spiral ganglion → Cochlear nerve ^VIII → pons: Cochlear nucleus (Anterior, Dorsal) → Trapezoid body → Superior olivary nuclei → midbrain: Lateral lemniscus → Inferior colliculi → thalamus: Medial geniculate nuclei → cerebrum: Acoustic radiation → Primary auditory cortex

Balance

General	Vestibular system

Pathway	inner ear: Vestibular nerve ^VIII → pons: Vestibular nuclei (Medial vestibular nucleus, Lateral vestibular nucleus) cerebellum: Flocculonodular lobe spinal cord: Vestibulospinal tract (Medial vestibulospinal tract, Lateral vestibulospinal tract) thalamus: Ventral posterolateral nucleus cerebrum: Vestibular cortex Vestibulo-oculomotor fibers
