**relationship: part_of MA:0000204 ! pons

FMA, NN, NIFSTD all place it in the midbrain reticular formation (but this shouldn't be counted as 3 pieces of evidences, both FMA and NIF derives relationships from NN. Also these may be human-centric).

The wikipedia articles doesn't mention the pons http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedunculopontine_nucleus

Not supported by ABA either

Also consider replacing cochlear nucleus, also under pons. It's not as clear cut here I think, but ABA and other sources place it as medullary, which is often considered distinct from pons.
