In the ipsilateral middle cerebellar peduncle because of damage to the trasnsverse pontine fibers; in the contralateral middle cerebellar peduncle because of damage to the pontinne nuclei; in the medullary pyramid; in addition if cranial nerve VIth or VIIth is damaged there will be degeneration in the periphery.
