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 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 : ...

And we must identify the best type of human neural stem cell to bring to the clinic.” Corticospinal axons extensively regenerate into NPC grafts. The corticospinal tract (CST) is the most important ...

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.

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 ...

Magnetic resonance imaging detects upper motor neuron damage in people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and the signal correlates with the severity ... DTI allows researchers to visualize ...

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 ...
