Fiber bridge {pons}| from hindbrain side to opposite cerebellum side holds major nerve tracts connecting cerebellum and cortex, in both directions, and connects thalamus to olive. Cerebral cortex motor regions influence pons. Pons controls heart, lungs, eye movements, muscle tone, walking, and running. It mediates protective and orientation reflexes.
