The medial lemniscus is still horizontal and is moving away form the midline. Somatotopic organization is preserved.

The sagittal view at the left tells you that this section still passes through the pons (purple), but also that the more dorsal part of the section is getting very close to the midbrain (blue). One indication of this is that the fourth ventricle is now getting small and will soon become the cerebral aqueduct.
