Fig. 80. Longitudinal section through the human cerebral hemisphere 

 passing through the internal capsule, some of the fiber systems of which are 

 numbered as listed below: 



1. Frontal thalamic tracts between the medial nucleus of the thalamus 

 and the frontal lobe of the cerebral cortex. 



2. Frontal pontile tract between the frontal lobe of the cortex and the 

 pons. 



3. Cortico-oculomotor tract from the motor cortex to the nucleus of the 

 oculomotor nerve. 



4. Cortico-bulbar tracts from the motor cortex to the motor nuclei of the 

 medulla oblongata.
