In [[neuroanatomy]], the '''corona radiata''' is a [[white matter]] sheet that continues caudally as the [[internal capsule]] and rostrally as the [[centrum semiovale]]. This sheet of [[axon]]s contains both descending and ascending axons that carry nearly all of the neural traffic from and to the [[cerebral cortex]], respectively. The corona radiata is associated with the [[corticospinal tract]], the [[corticopontine fibers|corticopontine tract]], and the [[corticobulbar tract]].
