Hypothalamic Influence - Visceral Motor Component
Fibers from the hypothalamus and olfactory system project via the dorsal longitudinal fasciculus to influence the output of the inferior salivatory nucleus.
Examples include:
- Dry mouth in response to fear (mediated by the hypothalamus)
- Salivation in response to smelling food (mediated by the olfactory system)
