Topography of the ponto-cerebellar projections. The PN project to lobules VI to IX of the vermis as well as to the cerebellar hemispheres including LS, Crus I and II, PML, COP, PFL and FL. Projections from the rostral and lateral regions of the PN, corresponding to the visual areas, innervate mostly the PFL, whereas COP mostly receives projections from the rostral and dorsal region of the PN. The basal PN strongly innervate Crus I and II, PML as well as lobules VIb, c and VIII. In general, ponto-cerebellar projections display strong overlap suggesting distribution of the information from a single region in the PN to various lobules in the cerebellum. PN, pontine nuclei, LS, lobule simplex, PML, paramedian lobule, COP, copula, PFL, paraflocculus, FL, flocculus. (Adapted with permission from Paxinos, 2014, Elsevier).
