Examples of corticospinal tract
corticospinal tract
The remaining 10% of axons descend on the ipsilateral side as the ventral corticospinal tract.

They then descend as the lateral corticospinal tract.

There is no decussation in the lateral corticospinal tract after the decussation at the medullary pyramids.

The protocol might also be used in the treatment of other kinds of motor disorders involving damage to the corticospinal tract.

These motor pathways, including the lateral corticospinal tract, are located in the lateral and ventral funiculi of the spinal cord.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Once stimulated, the cortex projects its own excitatory outputs to the brain stem and ultimately muscle fibers via the lateral corticospinal tract.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The rubrospinal tract descends with the lateral corticospinal tract, and the remaining three descend with the anterior corticospinal tract.
From the en.wikipedia.org
In spinal cord injuries, the axons that run along the corticospinal tract are severed so that the lower motor neurons, below the site of injury, are disconnected from the brain.
