Anatomic landmarks of the brainstem. Gray matter nuclei. Midbrain: IC, inferior colliculus. Medulla: LC, locus coeruleus (noradrenergic center); RF, reticular formation (serotonergic center); ION, inferior olivary nucleus. White matter tracts. CST, cortico-spinal tract; ML, medial lemniscus; PCT, pontine crossing tract. Image was obtained from a diffusion weighted MR scan processed with MRTrix software program (mrtrix.org). Depicted is sagittal view of concatenated cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF), gray matter (GM), and white matter (WM) maps with tissue-encoded colors: red, CSF; green, GM; blue, WM.
