  2. Pons - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pons

    The ventral pons is known as the basilar part, and the dorsal pons is known as the pontine tegmentum. [3] The ventral aspect of the pons faces the clivus, with the pontine cistern intervening between the two structures. The ventral surface of the pons features a midline basilar sulcus along which the basilar artery may or may not

  3. Pontine tegmentum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontine_tegmentum

    The pontine tegmentum, or dorsal pons, is the dorsal part of the pons located within the brainstem. The ventral part or ventral pons is known as the basilar part of the pons, or basilar pons. Along with the dorsal surface of the medulla oblongata, it forms part of the rhomboid fossa – the floor of the fourth ventricle.

  4. Pontine nuclei - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontine_nuclei

    Pontocerebellar fibers are the sole efferent pathway of the pontine nuclei. The fibers mostly decussate within the pons to pass through the (contralateral) middle cerebellar peduncle to terminate in the contralateral cerebellum as mossy fibers; they form terminal synapses in the cerebellar cortex, but also issue collaterals to the cerebellar nuclei.

  5. Basilar part of pons - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basilar_part_of_pons

    The basilar part of pons, also known as basis pontis, or basilar pons, is the ventral part of the pons (ventral pons) in the brainstem; the dorsal part (dorsal pons) is known as the pontine tegmentum. The basilar part of the pons makes up two thirds of the pons. [1] It has a ridged appearance with a shallow groove at the midline.

  7. Brainstem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainstem

    The pons houses the respiratory pneumotaxic center and apneustic center that make up the pontine respiratory group in the respiratory center. The pons co-ordinates activities of the cerebellar hemispheres. [10] The pons and medulla oblongata are parts of the hindbrain that form much of the brainstem.

  8. Principal sensory nucleus of trigeminal nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal_sensory_nucleus...

    The principal sensory nucleus of trigeminal nerve (or chief sensory nucleus of V, main trigeminal sensory nucleus) is a group of second-order neurons which have cell bodies in the caudal pons. It receives information about discriminative sensation and light touch of the face as well as conscious proprioception of the jaw via first order neurons ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontocerebellar_fibers

    The entire pathway begins and ends in the cerebral cortex, and its entire course is the following: [2] (Motor and sensory areas of) cerebral cortex → corticopontine fibers → (ipsilateral) nuclei pontis (synapse) → pontocerebellar fibers (decussation within pons) → middle cerebellar peduncle → (contralateral) (cerebellar cortex and (collaterals) dentate nucleus of) posterior lobe of ...
