Nystagmus can be caused by various nerves, but the vestibular nerve is often involved. The vestibular nerve carries sensory information related to balance and spatial orientation from the inner ear to the brain. When there is a disturbance in this nerve's function, it can result in nystagmus, which is characterized by involuntary eye movements.

Which parts of the brain is involved in regulation of nystagmus?
The cerebellum and brainstem are the main areas of the brain involved in regulating nystagmus. The cerebellum helps coordinate eye movements, while the brainstem controls the eye muscles involved in nystagmus. Irregularities in these areas can lead to nystagmus.
Is it nerve-wreaking or nerve wrecking?
The correct term is "nerve-wracking." It means something that causes anxiety or tension.
What is the function of the slow movement of the eye after having observed nystagmus?
The slow movement of the eye after observing nystagmus helps to reset and stabilize the eyes back to their normal position. These slow movements, called saccades, help to bring the eyes back to the target and maintain focus after the rapid eye movements in nystagmus.

What causes occipital nerve headaches?

Which parts of the brain is involved in regulation of nystagmus?
The cerebellum and brainstem are the main areas of the brain involved in regulating nystagmus. The cerebellum helps coordinate eye movements, while the brainstem controls the eye muscles involved in nystagmus. Irregularities in these areas can lead to nystagmus.
What causes a nerve impulse move along the nerve fiber?
Electrical diferences.
What are the symptoms of nystagmus?
