The term interstitial nucleus of the vestibular nerve refers to clusters of large nerve cells distributed in the vestibular component of vestibulocochlear nerve fibers in the human and the macaque ( Paxinos-2004 ), and the rat ( Swanson-2004 ). They are revealed in Nissl stained sections and stain for acetylcholinesterase. Functionally they belong to the vestibulomotor regions of the behavioral control column ( Swanson-2004 ).
