i dont know yet
The pons is part of the brainstem. The brainstem consists of the medulla oblongata, pons, and midbrain (mesencephalon). The pons extends superiorly (upward) from the medulla oblongata to the mesencephalon. The thalamus is part of the diencephalon (not directly connected to the pons in this superior - inferior brainstem relationship). The hypothalamus is also part of the diencephalon. The telencephalon consists of the cerebral hemispheres and is not in a direct superior continuation from the pons in the brainstem context.
