Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy [edit on Wikidata] |
Corticopontine fibers[1] are projections from the cerebral cortex to the pontine nuclei.[2]
Depending upon the lobe of origin, they can be classified as frontopontine fibers, parietopontine fibers, temporopontine fibers or occipitopontine fibers.[3]
