The corticospinal tract: Evolution, development, and human disorders
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Developmental Neurobiology"
DOI: 10.1002/dneu.22455
Abstract: The corticospinal tract (CST) plays a major role in cortical control of spinal cord activity. In particular, it is the principal motor pathway for voluntary movements. Here, we discuss: (i) the anatomic evolution and development… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.clineuro.2021.107001
Abstract: OBJECTIVE Tractography has been used to define the presurgical location of white matter tracts, but this is subjective and time-intensive, making incorporation to imaging workflow at scale problematic. The objective is to validate a fully… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jneumeth.2021.109216
Abstract: BACKGROUND Fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) are measures derived from diffusion-weighted imaging that represent the integrity of the corticospinal tract (CST) after stroke. Some studies of the motor system after stroke extract FA… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neulet.2019.134410
Abstract: Although it is known that motor learning changes the corticospinal tract excitability, the time course of bilateral corticospinal tract excitability in the motor-learning process has not been clarified. The study aimed to investigate the time… read more here.
