corticobulbar fibers


The term corticobulbar fibers, or Fibrae corticonucleares, represents a fiber pathway from the cerebral cortex to the hindbrain. These fibers, the corticospinal tract and the corticopontine fibers, make up the longitudinal pontine fibers of the basal part of pons. They are not readily distinguished in myelin-stained cross-sections.
