After development of diffusion tensor tractography (DTT), which is derived from diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), three-dimensional reconstruction and estimation for three motor tracts, such as the ...

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.

The kinase mTOR enhances cell growth in many systems. A new study reports that injury reduces mTOR activity in neurons of the corticospinal tract (CST). Enhancing mTOR activity by inactivating its ...

The corticospinal tract of mice exhibits some regenerative growth without any therapeutic manipulation, according to Steward et al. After complete transection of the dorsal column, a few axons ...

Species-dependent regulation of plexin A1 signalling may underlie the elimination and retention of cortico–motor neuronal contacts in developing mice and in developing primates, respectively.
