frontopontine fibers

It receives input from the superior colliculus via the predorsal bundle and from the frontal eye fields via frontopontine fibers.

Depending upon the lobe of origin, they can be classified as frontopontine fibers, parietopontine fibers, temporopontine fibers and occipitopontine fibers.

The frontopontine fibers are situated in the medial fifth of the base of the cerebral peduncles; they arise from the cells of the frontal lobe and end in the nuclei of the pons.
