Frontopontine

/ˌfrɒntəʊˈpɒntaɪn/ adjective

Definition

Relating to neural pathways connecting the frontal lobe of the brain to the pons (a structure in the brainstem).

Etymology

Combining fronto- (Latin frons, 'forehead,' referring to the frontal lobe) with pontine (from Latin pons, 'bridge'). This neuroscience term describes brain circuits that were mapped as understanding of neural anatomy advanced.

Kelly Says

The frontopontine tract is a bundle of nerve fibers deep in your brain—damage here can cause a rare condition called locked-in syndrome where people are awake but completely paralyzed, which shows how crucial these connections are!
