Transcript
The corticospinal and bulbospinal upper motor neuron pathways. Upper motor neurons have their cell bodies in layer V of the primary motor cortex (the precentral gyrus, or Brodmann’s area 4) and in the premotor and supplemental motor cortex (area 6). The upper motor neurons in the primary motor cortex are somatotopically organized (right side of figure). Axons of the upper motor neurons descend through the subcortical white matter and the posterior limb of the internal capsule. Axons of the pyramidal or corticospinal system descend through the brainstem in the cerebral peduncle of the midbrain, the basis pontis, and the medullary pyramids. At the cervicomedullary junction, most Causes corticospinal axons decussate into Harrison's the contralateral corticospinal tract of the lateral spinal cord, but 10–30% remain Source: Neurologic of Weakness and Paralysis, Principles of Internal Medicine, 19e ipsilateral in the anterior spinal cord.
