Brain: Pontocerebellar fibers Scheme showing the connections of the several parts of the brain. Latin fibrae pontocerebellares NeuroNames ancil-408 The pontocerebellar fibers are fibers that run within the middle cerebellar peduncles, from the pons to the cerebellum.
The term "corticopontocerebellar" is sometimes used to denote afferent signals from the cerebral cortex.[1]
