Medial and lateral vestibulospinal projections to the cervical spinal cord of the squirrel monkey by Richard Boyle

“…VOC neurons exhibited a prolific innervation of caudal brainstem nuclei, extensively innervated laminae VII and VIII, and, to a lesser extent, lateral and ventromedial lamina IX, from C1 to C8, and on average issued 15 branches along their trajectory with 92 terminal and en passant boutons per branch. The VOC innervation was either uniformly distributed among the cervical segments, indicating a more global control of head and neck movement, or restricted specific spinal segments, indicating a more precise motor control strategy. …”
