Nucleus Vestibularis Superior Expanded (Suve) is an important component in the neurobiology of neurodegenerative diseases. This page provides detailed information about its structure, function, and role in disease processes.
The Superior Vestibular Nucleus (SuVe) is one of the four main vestibular nuclei in the brainstem, located in the dorsolateral pons. It processes information from the semicircular canals and contributes to vestibulo-ocular and vestibulospinal reflexes.
