  2. Lateral corticospinal tract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_corticospinal_tract

    The lateral corticospinal tract (also called the crossed pyramidal tract or lateral cerebrospinal fasciculus) is the largest part of the corticospinal tract.It extends throughout the entire length of the spinal cord, and on transverse section appears as an oval area in front of the posterior column and medial to the posterior spinocerebellar tract.

  3. Spinal cord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_cord

    Sectional organization of spinal cord. The spinal cord is the main pathway for information connecting the brain and peripheral nervous system. [3] [4] Much shorter than its protecting spinal column, the human spinal cord originates in the brainstem, passes through the foramen magnum, and continues through to the conus medullaris near the second lumbar vertebra before terminating in a fibrous ...

  5. Grey columns - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_columns

    The grey columns are three regions of the somewhat ridge-shaped mass of grey matter in the spinal cord. [1] These regions present as three columns: the anterior grey column, the posterior grey column, and the lateral grey column, all of which are visible in cross-section of the spinal cord.

  6. Corticospinal tract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corticospinal_tract

    The lateral corticospinal tract neurons cross the midline at the level of the medulla oblongata, and controls the limbs and digits. [1] [3] The lateral tract forms about 90% of connections in the corticospinal tract; [2] the vast majority cross over in the medulla, while the rest (about 2-3%) remain ipsilateral. The anterior corticospinal tract ...

  7. Spinocerebellar tracts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinocerebellar_tracts

    The ventral spinocerebellar tract will cross to the opposite side of the body first in the spinal cord as part of the anterior white commissure and then cross again to end in the cerebellum (referred to as a "double cross"), as compared to the dorsal spinocerebellar tract, which does not decussate, or cross sides, at all through its path.

  8. Anterior white commissure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_white_commissure

    Two of the five sensory modalities, pain and temperature, cross sides at the anterior white commissure, reaching the contralateral side about two vertebral levels rostral to their origin. The spinothalamic tract thus decussates very soon after entering the spinal cord, ascending in the spinal cord, contralateral to the side from where it ...

  9. Pyramidal tracts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramidal_tracts

    The pyramidal tracts include both the corticobulbar tract and the corticospinal tract.These are aggregations of efferent nerve fibers from the upper motor neurons that travel from the cerebral cortex and terminate either in the brainstem (corticobulbar) or spinal cord (corticospinal) and are involved in the control of motor functions of the body.
