trigeminal nuclear complex
http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/UBERON_0007641
The sensory trigeminal nerve nuclei are the largest of the cranial nerve nuclei, and extend through the whole of the midbrain, pons and medulla. There is also a distinct trigeminal motor nucleus that is medial to the chief sensory nucleus[WP]. [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigeminal_nerve_nuclei ]

in MA and FMA this is part of the pons / pontime tegmentum. We weaken this to overlaps to avoid inconsistency. In NIF this is a composite structure spanning multiple regions, which is more appropriate.
