Verb/subject agreement Neither/nor

Hi folks,

I have a question. Which of these sentences is correct?

Neither he nor she wants to go home
OR
Neither he nor she want to go home?

I've been taught that the verb has to agree with the subject nearest by, but I've seen on multiple occassions where this was not the case and the verb agreed with the number of people involved. Or does the verb have to be in the singular form because 'neither' represents zero?

Thanks in advance!
