The Pons - The Pons includes a bridge of fibers that connects the brainstem with the cerebellum.
In the brain, the pons relays sensory information between the cerebellum and cerebrum; aids in relaying other messages in the brain; controls arousal, and regulates respiration. The pons may have some role in dreams and dreaming.
The pons is located in the brainstem, above the medulla oblongata and below the midbrain. It is involved in various functions such as controlling breathing, sleep, and relaying sensory information between the cerebrum and cerebellum.

The cerebellum and the pons are not derived from the cerebral cortex. They are separate structures in the brain that have different functions. The cerebellum is involved in motor control and coordination, while the pons plays a role in regulating functions such as breathing and sleep.
The cerebellum and pons are connected by the middle cerebellar peduncle, which is a large bundle of nerve fibers that carries information between these two structures. This connection allows for communication and coordination between the cerebellum and other areas of the brain involved in motor control and coordination.
The medical term is "pontocerebellar," which refers to structures or processes involving both the cerebellum and the pons in the brain.
The brainstem sits between large organs -- the brain (including cerebrum and cerebellum) and spinal cord -- and is directly connected to them. The three segments of the brainstem (the midbrain, pons, and medulla) also give rise to most of the twelve cranial nerves (excluding cranial nerves I, II, and arguably XI).

The pons is a structure located in the brainstem that serves as a bridge connecting different parts of the brain. It plays a role in regulating sleep, breathing, and controlling movements. It also contains nerve fibers that transmit signals between the cerebellum and the cerebral cortex.
