The rodent corticospinal tract (CST) has been used extensively ... First, we documented the existence of lateral and ventral components of the CST that had not been previously reported in mice ...

Figure 1: Spontaneous improvement in object retrieval with the hand after C7 lateral hemisection. Figure 4: Extensive compensatory plasticity of the lesioned corticospinal tract in primates.

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 ...

The Babinski reflex may show a problem in the corticospinal tract — or CST ... whose work led to the identification of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis — or ALS. Even though it is over 100 ...

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.

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.

However, the effects of previous hamstring strain injury on the corticospinal excitability and intracortical inhibition remains unknown. Understanding of the mechanisms contributing to functional ...
