Corticopontine fibers are projections from the cerebral cortex to the pons (notably, the pontine nuclei).[citation needed] Depending upon the lobe of origin, they can be classified as frontopontine fibers, parietopontine fibers, temporopontine fibers or occipitopontine fibers.[1]
Anatomy
[edit]Corticopontine fibres arise primarily from the neocortex layer V of the premotor, somatosensory, non-striate visual, posterior parietal, and cingulate cerebral cortex; there are also a few fibers originating from the prefrontal, temporal, and striate cortex.[2]
