Your pons is part of your brainstem, linking your brain and spinal cord. It’s a key junction for nerves in your head and face, affecting unconscious brain functions.

2022年10月4日 · One portion of your brainstem is called the pons. The pons links your brain to your spinal cord. Your pons handles all of your unconscious movements and processes.

The pons (from Latin pons, "bridge") is part of the brainstem that in humans and other mammals, lies inferior to the midbrain, superior to the medulla oblongata and anterior to the cerebellum. The pons is also called the pons Varolii ("bridge of Varolius"), after the Italian anatomist and surgeon Costanzo Varolio (1543–75). [ 1 ]

2023年9月16日 · The pons is part of a highway-like structure between the brain and the body known as the brainstem. The brainstem is made up of three sections, and carries vital information to the body. The pons relays information about motor function, sensation, eye movement, hearing, taste, and more.

2020年12月6日 · The pons is the largest part of the brain stem, located above the medulla and below the midbrain. It is a group of nerves that function as a connection between the cerebrum and cerebellum (pons is Latin for bridge).

2023年1月30日 · The pons is the portion of the brainstem between the midbrain above and the medulla oblongata below. The transverse section of pons is subdivided into 2 areas: the ventral and the dorsal.

The pons is a small but vital brain structure that houses bunches of nerve fibers. These fibers connect both the cerebrum and the cerebellum as well as the right and left hemispheres of the brain. They make it possible for these structures to send messages — including sensory and motor information — back and forth.

2023年10月30日 · The pons is the part of the brainstem between the midbrain (rostral) and the medulla oblongata (caudal), located anterior to the cerebellum. The pons contains various structures that are responsible for maintaining several key functions of the body.

2019年11月19日 · The pons serves as a communications and coordination center between the two hemispheres of the brain. It connects the medulla to the cerebral cortex.

Attached to the brain stem, but considered a separate region of the adult brain, is the cerebellum. The midbrain coordinates sensory representations of the visual, auditory, and somatosensory perceptual spaces. The pons is the main connection with the cerebellum.
