TLDR
Optic flow observations suggest the pontine region is the trigeminal nucleus and that tongue stimulation interfaces with the balance-processing network within the pons, and this high-resolution imaging allows detection of activity within individual brainstem nuclei not possible using standard resolution imaging.
