The spinal cord is very sensitive to injury, however, unlike other parts of the body, the spinal cord does not have the ability to repair itself when damaged. A spinal cord injury occurs when there is damage either from trauma, loss of its normal blood supply, or pressure due to a tumour or infection. A main goal of rehabilitation strategies in humans with spinal cord injury is to strengthen…

Chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) is a formidable hurdle that prevents a large number of injured axons from crossing the lesion, particularly the corticospinal tract (CST). Patients inflicted with SCI would often suffer a loss of mobility, paralysis, and interferes with activities of daily life dramatically. While physical therapy and rehabilitation would help the patients to cope with the…

Tractus corticospinalis lateralis

Definition

Der Tractus corticospinalis lateralis stellt den größeren Anteil der Pyramidenbahn dar. Er enthält ca. 90% der Fasern, die in der Decussatio pyramidum zur Gegenseite kreuzen und im Seitenstrang nach unten ziehen um die Alpha-Motoneurone zu innervieren. Die 10% der ungekreuzten Fasern laufen medial der Fissura mediana anterior als Tractus corticospinalis anterior nach unten und kreuzen…
