Genetic modulation of corticospinal motor neurons (CSMN) is required for developing effective and long-term treatment strategies for motor neuron diseases ... corticospinal tract in both cervical ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis involves degeneration of corticospinal neurons, a major subtype of PT neurons. In Parkinson's disease ... and pyramidal tract (PT) neurons. Convergent evidence ...

The corticospinal tract is known to be a major neural tract for motor function in the human brain. Several studies have reported on injury of the corticospinal tract by transtentorial herniation.

Researchers at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have found a way to stimulate the growth of axons, which may spell the dawn of a new beginning on chronic SCI treatments.

Corticospinal axons extensively regenerate into NPC grafts. The corticospinal tract (CST) is the most important motor system in humans, yet robust regeneration of this projection after spinal cord ...

In humans, the corticospinal tract extends from the cerebral cortex in the upper brain down into the spinal cord. "We humans use corticospinal axons for voluntary movement," said Tuszynski.

Background Recent evidence has suggested that corticospinal excitability alterations are present in the surrounding ankle musculature in individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI). However, ...

Part of the corticospinal tract — which sends messages between the brain and muscles — was atrophied. The side of the tract that controls the knee was about 15 percent smaller than the ...
