Reticulotegmental nucleus

It has also been shown that the projections from the pontine tegmentum to the cerebellar lobes are only crossed fibers.This nucleus is known for its large number of multipolar cells and its particularly reticular structure.The reticulotegmental nucleus is topographically related to pontine nuclei (non-reticular), being just dorsal to them.[1] This makes sense concerning their connections, as it would require a nucleus that receives and projects to the cerebellum to mediate that kind of complex circuitry.The neurons of the lateral reticular formation are very important for reflexes and the mediation of posture.
