* (1) fibers running from the thalamus to the frontal lobe;
* (2) fibers connecting the lentiform and caudate nuclei;
* (3) fibers connecting the cortex with the corpus striatum; and
* (4) fibers passing from the frontal lobe through the medial fifth of the base of the cerebral peduncle to the nuclei pontis.
