From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The nucleus of the posterior commissure is one of the accessory oculomotor nuclei situated in the mesencephalon (midbrain) at its junction with the diencephalon.[1] It is involved in coordinating head-eye movements[2] (particularly vertical conjugate eye movements (gaze)[1][2]). It is situated near the oculomotor nucleus.[2] It is thought to receive afferents from the ipsilateral cerebellum.[3]
