Differential diagnosis In contrast, pseudobulbar<unk>  is a clinical syndrome similar to<unk>  but in which the damage is located in upper motor neurons of the corticobulbar tracts in the mid-pons (i.e., in the cranial nerves IX-XII), that is the nerve cells coming down from the cerebral cortex innervating the motor nuclei in the medulla. This is usually caused by stroke.
