Anatomical Location of the Vestibulocerebellar Tract in the Healthy Human Brain: A Diffusion Tensor Imaging Study.

  • 2021‎

The vestibulocerebellar tract (VCT) is regarded as an important pathway of the central vestibular system. We identified the anatomical characteristics of the primary and secondary VCTs in a normal human brain using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) tractography. Thirty-one healthy adults were recruited. A 1.5 T scanner was used for DTI tractography. A seed region of interest (ROI) was placed on the superior and medial vestibular nuclei at the pons level and a target ROI was placed on the uvula-nodulus of the cerebellum for reconstructing the primary VCT. In the secondary VCTs, the seed ROI was placed on the inferior and medial vestibular nuclei at the medulla oblongata level, and target ROIs were placed on the bilateral uvula-nodulus of the cerebellum. The primary VCT originated from the superior and medial vestibular nuclei at the pons level and terminated at the ipsilateral uvula-nodulus of the cerebellum. The component of the secondary VCTs originated from the inferior and medial vestibular nuclei at the level of the medulla oblongata and terminated at the bilateral uvula-nodulus of the cerebellum. Among them, 70.97% in the contralateral secondary VCT crossed at the vermis of the cerebellum. In addition, the fractional anisotropies (FAs) and mean diffusivity (MD) values of the primary VCT were significantly higher and lower, respectively, compared to those of the secondary VCTs (p < 0.05). The contralateral secondary VCT was significantly higher and lower in the MD and tract volume, respectively (p < 0.05), compared to the ipsilateral VCT. Therefore, we believe that the results will be useful for future studies of the vestibular projection pathway in the human brain injury aspect of central vestibular syndrome.
