occipitopontine fibers

The term occipitopontine fibers represents a fiber pathway that courses through the cerebral crus to connect the occipital lobe of the cerebral cortex with the pons. It is not readily distinguished in myelin-stained histological cross-sections ( Carpenter-1983 ).

Also known as: occipitopontine fibers, Fibrae occipitopontinae, occipitopontine tract, Tractus occipitopontinus
