[TFD][VHOG] CALOHA:TS-0813 BAMS:PONS During the embryonic development of birds and mammals, neuroblasts migrate from the cerebellum into the ventral part of the rhombencephalon and differentiate into pontine and other nuclei, which relay information from between the cerebrum and cerebellum, and a conspicuous band of transverse fibers. This region is known as the pons. A pons does not differentiate in reptiles and anamniotes (...).[well established][VHOG] Wikipedia:Pons MBA:771 BIRNLEX:733 EHDAA2:0004394 VHOG:0001176 NCIT:C12511 GAID:578 MESH:D011149 BAMS:Pons UMLS:C1280999 MIAA:0000115 neuronames:547 UBERON:0000988 pons Varolii EMAPA:17563 DHBA:10661 The pons is not present in zebrafish.
