Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy [edit on Wikidata]

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 fibersoroccipitopontine fibers.^[1]

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]
