English: (A) A section through the mid-pons showing the relationship of the paramedian pontine reticular formation to the median longitudinal fasciculus (MLF) and the adjacent seventh cranial nerve as it sweeps around the abducens nucleus. (B) A magnification showing the proposed conformation of the separate horizontal and vertical gaze paths as they project into the MLF. The horizontal signal decussates at the level of the pons and ascends in the contralateral MLF while it is uncertain whether the vertical gaze signal decussates at all, or is a direct projection.
