The Two Divisions of the Dorsolateral Motor Pathway

 |
|---|
Corticospinal Tract
- Origins: Primary Motor Cortex (MI), Premotor Cortex, Supplemental Motor Cortex, Anterior Paracentral Gyrus, Parietal Lobe (including SI) and Cingulate Gyrus.
- Collaterals: Small percentage of Corticospinal Neurons
- Midbrain (primarily red nucleus)
- Trigeminal Nuclei
- Pontine Nuclei
- Termination is Spinal Cord: mostly laminae 3-7, few in ventral horn and laminae 1-2; mostly innervating interneurons, although some innervation of alpha motor neurons.
- Neurotransmitter: Glutamate and/or Aspartate.
Corticobulbar Tracts
- Control over facial muscles; bilateral input to motor neurons controlling muscles in upper face, but contralateral input to motor neurons controlling lower face (in humans, not sure about rodents).
- Control over muscles of mastication: motor trigeminal and RF. (Reticular Formation)
- Control over external eye muscles: input comes from frontal and parietal eye fields, rather than from MI; projection to midbrain and paramedian pontine RF
- Control over tongue: hypoglossal and RF
- Control over swallowing reflexes: nucleus ambiguous and RF.
