The vestibulospinal tracts are responsible for the subconscious regulation of balance and muscle tone. They receive input from the vestibular apparatus (which senses head position and movement) and send signals to the spinal cord to adjust muscle activity accordingly. The tectospinal tracts are involved in reflex movements related to visual and auditory stimuli. The rubrospinal tracts help with voluntary movement of the upper limbs. The reticulospinal tracts are involved in regulating muscle tone and autonomic functions.
