  2. Corticospinal tract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corticospinal_tract

    [1] [3] The lateral tract forms about 90% of connections in the corticospinal tract; [2] the vast majority cross over in the medulla, while the rest (about 2-3%) remain ipsilateral. The anterior corticospinal tract neurons, the remaining 10%, stay ipsilateral in the spinal cord but decussate at the level of the spinal nerve in which they exit ...

  3. Pyramidal tracts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramidal_tracts

    The pyramidal tracts include both the corticobulbar tract and the corticospinal tract.These are aggregations of efferent nerve fibers from the upper motor neurons that travel from the cerebral cortex and terminate either in the brainstem (corticobulbar) or spinal cord (corticospinal) and are involved in the control of motor functions of the body.

    Having crossed over at the middle line, they pass down in the posterior part of the lateral funiculus as the lateral corticospinal tract. The other 10% of the fibers stay uncrossed in the anterior corticospinal tract. The pyramidal decussation marks the border between the spinal cord and the medulla oblongata. [1]

  5. Anterior corticospinal tract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_corticospinal_tract

    The anterior corticospinal tract is usually small, varying inversely in size with the lateral corticospinal tract, which is the main part of the corticospinal tract. It lies close to the anterior median fissure , and is present only in the upper part of the spinal cord; gradually diminishing in size as it descends, it ends about the middle of ...

  6. Internal capsule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_capsule

    The anterior half of the posterior limb contains fibers of the corticospinal tract, and corticobulbar tract (in an anteroposterior somatotropic arrangement), as well as corticorubral fibres (passing from the frontal lobe to the red nucleus) that accompany the corticospinal tract. [4] The posterior third of the posterior limb contains:

  7. Extrapyramidal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extrapyramidal_system

    The pyramidal tracts (corticospinal tract and corticobulbar tracts) may directly innervate motor neurons of the spinal cord or brainstem (anterior (ventral) horn cells or certain cranial nerve nuclei), whereas the extrapyramidal system centers on the modulation and regulation (indirect control) of anterior (ventral) horn cells.

  9. Spinal cord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_cord

    The rubrospinal tract descends with the lateral corticospinal tract, and the remaining three descend with the anterior corticospinal tract. The function of lower motor neurons can be divided into two different groups: the lateral corticospinal tract and the anterior cortical spinal tract.
