Pyramidal signs
Corticospinal tract
The corticospinal or pyramidal tract is a collection of axons that travel between the cerebral cortex of the brain and the spinal cord. The corticospinal tract mostly contains motor axons. It actually consists of two separate tracts in the spinal cord: the lateral corticospinal tract and the anterior corticospinal tract. An understanding of these tracts leads to an understanding of why for the most part, one side of the body is controlled by the opposite side of the brain. The corticobulbar tract is also considered to be a pyramidal tract, though it carries signals to motor neurons of the cranial nerve nuclei, rather than the spinal cord...
