Merge with Corticobulbar tract?

As far as I can tell, they're just two ways of saying the same thing and its confusing having the two. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.43.23.81 (talk) 11:21, 12 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure why you think that, as it looks like Corticopontine fibers are to the pons, and Corticobulbar are to the medulla. UnderEducatedGeezer (talk) 07:11, 1 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

Carried through the Internal Capsule?

Latest comment: 6 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Could it be entered by someone who knows, that the Corticopontine fibers are carried by the Internal Capsule? I did find this: "The cortico-pontine-cerebellar tract brings motor information to the cerebellum from the frontal lobe. It leaves the precentral gyrus (motor strip) and descends in the internal capsule along with pyramidal tract fibers. Its axons synapse with cells in the pons. These pontine nuclei then send second order neurons to the cerebellum on the middle cerebellar peduncle.", from The Neuroscience on the Web Series: Chapter 7: The Cerebellum ( https://www.csuchico.edu/~pmccaffrey/syllabi/CMSD%20320/362unit7.html ), with a nice picture/diagram that shows the distinction between the Corticopontine fibers and the corticobulbar tract.
