a: Pons ~
b: bridge
What:
"Well, the pons takes care of this by connecting the two sides of the cerebellum, and then connecting each side of the cerebellum with the opposite side cerebral hemisphere. The pons also connects the cerebral cortex and the medulla. If you're thinking the pons is like a bridge, you'd be right, especially as pons means "bridge" in Latin."
