Background: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease with severe cervical cord damage due to degeneration of the corticospinal tracts and loss of lower motor neurones.

Objectives: To examine vestibular control of balance in those who recovered the ability to stand after middle cerebral artery (MCA) stroke. Methods: Sixteen patients with MCA stroke were compared with ...

In this study, we investigated the spontaneous neural plasticity on the contralateral side in hypertensive rats, including the expression of nerve growth factors (synaptophysin [SYN] and ...

Lateral wedge shoe insoles may improve knee pain in individuals with painful medial knee osteoarthritis (OA), according to a study published in Arthritis & Rheumatology. A total of 62 patients ...

Target ROI for medial and lateral vestibulospinal tract were placed on the medial vestibular nuclei (blue) and reticular formation (orange), respectively. (B) The neural pathways of medial (blue) and ...

Lateral Pathways/Pyramidal Tracts The more important one is the Corticospinal Tract which innervates the muscles of the body. Neurons of one side controls the muscles on the other side.

The lateral corticospinal tract (CST) was then lesioned between the injection sites of the two viral vectors, mostly in C4–C5 (Left, in black; Right, black bar). MN, motoneurons. (B) Lesions are ...
