The temporopontine fibers are corticopontine fibers projecting from the temporal lobe to the pontine nuclei. The temporopontine fibers are lateral to the cerebrospinal fibers; they originate in the temporal lobe and end in the pontine nuclei.

The fibers descend through the sublentiform part of the internal capsule.^[1]
