anterolateral corticospinal tract

The term anterolateral corticospinal tract refers to a subdivision of the corticospinal tract in the spinal cord. It is formed by approximately 2% of the corticospinal fibers that do not cross to the opposite side of the brainstem in the pyramidal decussation. This tract descends in the lateral white column anterior to the lateral corticospinal tract ( Carpenter-1983 ).

Also known as: anterolateral corticospinal tract, anterolateral corticospinal tract of Barnes, fibres pyramidales homolaterales superficelles of Dejerine, uncrossed lateral corticospinal tract
