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 ...

The Nature Index 2024 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their ...

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.

Kaimeng Du et al. Pten Deletion Promotes Regrowth of Corticospinal Tract Axons 1 Year after Spinal Cord Injury. Journal of Neuroscience , July 2015 DOI: 10.1523/JNEUROSCI.3637-14.2015 Cite This Page : ...

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.

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

We found that microglia, immune cells in the brain, are necessary for survival of the corticospinal neurons during the developmental stage. IGF-1, secreted by microglia, turned out to be critical for ...
