The vestibulospinal tract is a neural pathway that connects the vestibular system in the inner ear to the spinal cord. It plays a crucial role in maintaining balance and posture by transmitting information about head position and movement. This tract helps coordinate reflexes that adjust body posture in response to changes in balance. There are two main components of the vestibulospinal tract: the medial vestibulospinal tract and the lateral vestibulospinal tract. The medial tract primarily influences neck and upper body muscles, while the lateral tract affects lower body muscles. Together, they ensure stability and proper alignment during movement.
