A Tutorial on Internal Features of Pons

Provided video gives detailed description of internal features of pons on real cross-sectional images. The video starts with explanation of division of pons into tegmentum and basal parts. The location of spinothalamic, corticospinal, and corticobulbar tracts, and medial lemniscus is described. Cranial nuclei are also shown with special emphasis on facial genu. Cerebellar peduncles, on both anterior and posterior aspect are shown. The junction between pons and midbrain is also defined. 0:15 Overview 1:12 Division of pons 2:06 Corticospinal and corticobulbar tracts 3:02 Medial lemniscus 3:26 Spinothalamic tract 4:42 Cranial nuclei 5:43 Facial genu 7:58 Medial longitudinal fasciculus 8:27 Horizontal gaze center 9:21 Vestibular nuclei 9:38 Trigeminal tract 9:55 Clinical correlation 10:24 Facial colliculus 10:37 Rostral pons 11:15 Cerebellar peduncles 11:30 Pontine nuclei 13:25 Trigeminal nuclei 14:10 Ponto-mesencephalic junction
