A14.1.04.104 Fibrae corticonucleares bulbi The term corticobulbar, as commonly used in the past, refers to axons originating in the cerebral cortex and innervating motor nuclei of cranial nerves of the medulla oblongata, pons, and by extension, the midbrain. Since bulbus specifically refers to the medulla oblongata, application of the term corticobulbar to these fibres in the midbrain is incorrect. The term corticonuclearis followed by bulbi, pontinis (see A14.1.05.105), or mesencephali (see A14.1.06.202) replaces corticobulbar and specifies cortical axons that innervate motor and/or sensory nuclei of cranial nerves.
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.

A14.1.04.137 Lemniscus spinalis Contains a variety of ascending axons and, in this respect, contains essentially the same population of axons that comprise the tractus anterolaterales. These are synonymous terms.
