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.

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 ...

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 ...

Profiling synapses. Among the neural circuits that let our brain process information, brain cells known as layer 5 pyramidal ...

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.
