In the vertical & torsional VOR, the tonic component comes via the interstitial n. Cajal, INC (lesions cause vertical & torsional gaze paretic nystagmus)

| In the horizontal VOR, we saw that the tonic
component comes via the n. Prepositus Hypoglossi, nPPH
(lesions cause horizontal gaze paretic nystagmus) In the vertical & torsional VOR, the tonic component comes via the interstitial n. Cajal, INC (lesions cause vertical & torsional gaze paretic nystagmus) |
