Study Notes
Internal Structure of White Matter
- Descending tracts are found in white matter
- Corticospinal fibers, also known as pyramidal tracts, are located in the middle
- Corticonuclear fibers are situated medially on both sides of the pyramidal tracts
- Corticopontine fibers, Frontopontine fibers, and Temporo-parieto-occipito-pontine fibers are other types of fibers found in white matter
- Frontopontine fibers are located most medially
- Temporo-parieto-occipito-pontine fibers are situated most laterally
