Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The cerebellum in eye movement control: nystagmus, coordinate frames and disconjugacy.
Detailed explanation-2: -Vestibular nystagmus. Vestibular nystagmus, the most common type of nystagmus, is caused by dysfunction of the vestibular part of the inner ear, the nerve, the vestibular nucleus within the brainstem, or parts of the cerebellum that transmit signals to the vestibular nucleus.
Detailed explanation-3: -Two inner ear vestibular receptors (utricle and saccule) that transduce linear accelerations and head tilt relative to gravity into neural signals that are then transferred to the brain.
