Basal Portion Descending Tracts Corticobulbar Tract - Corticofugal fibers projecting to, and terminating in, portions of lower brainstem - Termination: 1) motor nuclei (upper motor neuron pathway) hypoglossal, ambiguus, facial motor, trigeminal motor, abducens, trochlear and oculomotor nucleus 2) sensory relay nuclei nuclei gracilis and cuneatus, trigeminal sensory nucleus, solitary tract nucleus 3) reticular formation (corticoreticular fiber)
