This region is known as the pons. A pons does not differentiate in reptiles and anamniotes (...).[well established][VHOG] EFO:0001394 EHDAA2:0004394 EMAPA:17563 EV:0100253 FMA:67943 GAID:578 HBA:9131 MA:0000204 MAT:0000115 MBA:771 MESH:D011149 MIAA:0000115 NCIT:C12511 The part of the central nervous system lying between the medulla oblongata and the midbrain, ventral to the cerebellum.
