The preganglionic fibers from this nucleus terminate in the otic ganglion; the postganglionic fibers from the otic ganglion pass to the parotid gland.
The descending branches terminate in the dorsal (medial) vestibular nucleus, the principal nucleus of the vestibular nerve.
The fibers arise from the nucleus of the abducens nerve and pass ventrally through the formatio reticularis of the pons to emerge in the transverse groove between the caudal edge of the pons and the pyramid.
Fibers arise from the nerve cells in these centers and pass through the occipital part of the internal capsule, under the name of the optic radiations, to the cortex of the occipital lobe of the cerebrum, where the higher or cortical visual center is situated.
Déjerine regards the fibers of the tapetum as being derived from this fasciculus, and not from the corpus callosum.
The tangential fibers consist of (a) the collaterals of the pyramidal and polymorphous cells and of the cells of Martinotti; (b) the branching axons of Golgi’s cells; (c) the collaterals and terminal arborizations of the projection, commissural, or association fibers.
