Neuroanatomy, Interstitial Nucleus of Cajal

The interstitial nucleus of Cajal is a prominent group of cells within the medial longitudinal fasciculus of the brainstem that is responsible for maintaining oculomotor control, head posture, and vertical eye movement. The interstitial nucleus of Cajal is essential in integrating velocity signals from the gaze control system into position signals when maintaining eye and head posture.
