Descending motor (extrapyramidal) pathways from brainstem: the medial longitudnal fasciculus

 

 

This diagram illustrates the layout of the medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF) in the brainstem, connecting the vestibular centres with the eye muscle motor nuclei, these nuclei with each other, and with the upper spinal motor neurons.
