The paramedian pontine reticular formation, also known as PPRF or paraabducens nucleus, is part of the pontine reticular formation, a brain region without clearly defined borders in the center of the pons. It is involved in the coordination of eye movements, particularly horizontal gaze and saccades.

area of the midbrain and pons. They control horizontal eye movements by interconnecting oculomotor and abducens nuclei in the brain stem. Such small infarcts can easily be overlooked by young neuroradiologists and trainees.

Where is the medial longitudinal fasciculus?

The medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF) is organized as a pair of white matter fiber tracts that extend through the brainstem and lie near the midline just ventral to the fourth ventricle (in the medulla and pons) and cerebral aqueduct (in the midbrain).

Is MLF present in medulla?

The medial longitudinal fasciculus is a white matter tract that rides the midline dorsally, while the spinothalamic tract maintains its anterolateral position in the brainstem, immediately dorsal to the olive in the medulla.
