| System | Oculomotor system |

| Function | Head-eye movement coordination (especially vertical gaze) |
| Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy | |
The interstitial nucleus of Cajal is a small midbrain [1]: 321-322 accessory oculomotor nucleus [1]: 241 involved in head-eye movement coordination (especially movements related to vertical gaze). It is situated in the dorsomedial portion of the mesencephalic tegmentum near the oculomotor nucleus and adjacent to the medial longitudinal fasciculus. [1]: 321-322 It receives afferents from the visual association areas via the corticotectal tract. [1]: 241
