A14.1.03.003 Bulbus The portion between the spinal cord and the caudal border of the pons, this being the medulla oblongata. Strong O. S ., and Elwyn A. 1943. Human Neuroanatomy. Baltimore.

A14.1.04.013 Pedunculus cerebellaris inferior and corpus restiforme In previous terminology lists these two structures were considered synonyms. However the pedunculus cerebellaris inferior is composed of two functionally/structurally distinct parts. Corpus restiforme is located on the dorsolateral aspect of the medulla oblongata and contains a variety of cerebellar afferent fibres. Corpus juxtarestiforme joins the corpus restiforme as they enter the cerebellum and contains only interconnections between vestibular structures and the cortex cerebellae and nucleus fastigii.
