Taxonomic definition
Taxonomic definition A vestibulospinal tract is a descending tract of origin in caudal rhombencephalon [tractus descendens originis rhombencephali caudalis ] which has its origin in the vestibular nuclei [nucleus vestibularis rhombencephali caudalis ] and terminates in the upper segments of the spinal cord [medulla spinalis ], mainly involved in controlling the head position.
