The 13 pages that link to Corticospinal tract, each with the reason it gives.

• Motor controlBroader topic: It carries cortical commands toward spinal circuits and motor neurons.

• Amyotrophic lateral sclerosisRelated: Damage to this pathway reflects upper motor neuron involvement in ALS.

• BrainstemRelated: Its fibers pass through the brainstem on their way to the spinal cord.

• White matterBroader topic: It demonstrates how white matter carries commands from the brain toward the spinal cord.

• NeuroanatomyBroader topic: Its course illustrates how a named tract links brain anatomy to spinal motor output.

• Frontal lobeRelated: It conveys commands from frontal motor areas toward the body.

• Locked-in syndromeRelated: Bilateral damage to these fibers causes profound paralysis of the limbs and trunk.

• Lower motor neuronRelated: It influences lower motor neurons, especially those controlling skilled limb movements.

• Motor cortexRelated: It carries output from motor cortical regions toward spinal motor circuits.

• CerebrumRelated: It links cerebral planning and motor areas to voluntary movements of the body.

• Hereditary spastic paraplegiaBroader topic: Its long axons are especially vulnerable in many forms of the disorder.

• HemiplegiaRelated: Damage above its crossing in the brain often weakens the opposite side of the body.

• Neural pathwayBroader topic: It is a well-studied route carrying motor commands toward spinal motor systems.
