The corticonuclear tract is so named because it connects the cerebral cortex to cranial nerve nuclei . ( The corticonuclear tract is also called the " corticobulbar tract ", as the brainstem is sometimes called the " bulb " of the brain . ) It is via this pathway that upper motor neurons from the cortex descend from the cortex and synapse on ?-MNs of the brainstem.
