Corticospinal tract structure and excitability in patients with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A DTI and TMS study

NeuroImage: Clinical, 2020
Background: Underlying neural factors contribute to poor outcomes following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Neurophysiological adaptations have been identified in corticospinal tract excitability, however limited evidence exists on ...

Detecting Corticospinal Tract Impairment in Tumor Patients With Fiber Density and Tensor-Based Metrics

Frontiers in Oncology, 2021
Tumors infiltrating the motor system lead to significant disability, often caused by corticospinal tract injury. The delineation of the healthy-pathological white matter (WM) interface area, for which diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) has shown

Quantitative measures of walking and strength provide insight into brain corticospinal tract pathology in multiple sclerosis

NeuroImage: Clinical, 2017
At least 85% of individuals with multiple sclerosis report walking dysfunction as their primary complaint. Walking and strength measures are common clinical measures to mark increasing disability or improvement with rehabilitation.

Using diffusion tensor imaging to identify corticospinal tract projection patterns in children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy [PDF]

Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 2016
To determine whether diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) can be an independent assessment for identifying the corticospinal tract (CST) projecting from the more‐affected motor cortex in children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy (CP).

Axonal remodeling in the corticospinal tract after stroke: how does rehabilitative training modulate it?

Neural Regeneration Research, 2017
Stroke causes long-term disability, and rehabilitative training is commonly used to improve the consecutive functional recovery. Following brain damage, surviving neurons undergo morphological alterations to reconstruct the remaining neural network.

Human corticospinal tract lateralization at the height of the internal capsule is not related to handedness [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Evaluating the integrity of the corticospinal tract at the height of the posterior limb of the internal capsule with a lateralization index has been applied to predict upper limb motor recovery after stroke in numerous diffusion tensor imaging studies ...

The Corticospinal Tract in Huntington's Disease. [PDF]

Cerebral Cortex, 2015
Huntington's disease (HD) is characterized by progressive motor impairment. Therefore, the connectivity of the corticospinal tract (CST), which is the main white matter (WM) pathway that conducts motor impulses from the primary motor cortex to the spinal cord, merits particular attention.

Age‐related differences in agility are related to both muscle strength and corticospinal tract function [PDF]

Physiological Reports
Agility is essential for “healthy” aging, but neuromuscular contributions to age‐related differences in agility are not entirely understood. We recruited healthy (n = 32) non‐athletes (30–84 years) to determine: (1) if aging is associated with agility ...

Corticospinal Tract Development, Evolution, and Skilled Movements. [PDF]

Mov Disord
AbstractThe evolution of the corticospinal tract (CST) is closely linked to the development of skilled voluntary movements in mammals. The main evolutionary divergence concerns the position of the CST within the spinal cord white matter and its postsynaptic targets in the grey matter.
