- The corticospinal tract is a motor pathway starting at the cortex that terminates on motor neurons in the brainstem or spinal cord and is involved in the control of motor functions of the body?
- About 80% of corticospinal neurons originate in the primary motor cortex?
- Pyramidal cells of Betz are the largest neurons in the central nervous system?
- Lateral corticospinal tract appears on transverse section of the spinal cord as an oval area in front of the posterior column and medial to the posterior spinocerebellar tract?
- All the fibers of the lateral corticospinal tract cross the midline in the medulla oblongata and control the limbs and digits?
- The anterior corticospinal tract becomes smaller as it descends, ending at the level of the mid-thoracic spinal cord?
