Task‐specific strength increases after lower‐limb compound resistance training occurred in the absence of corticospinal changes in vastus lateralis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Neural adaptations subserving strength increases have been shown to be task‐specific, but responses and adaptation to lower‐limb compound exercises such as the squat are commonly assessed in a single‐limb isometric task.

Optimization of adeno-associated viral vector-mediated transduction of the corticospinal tract: comparison of four promoters

open access: yesGene Therapy, 2020
Adeno-associated viral vectors are widely used as vehicles for gene transfer to the nervous system. The promoter and viral vector serotype are two key factors that determine the expression dynamics of the transgene.

Physical Activity Modulates Corticospinal Excitability of the Lower Limb in Young and Old Adults [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Aging is associated with reduced neuromuscular function, which may be due in part to altered corticospinal excitability. Regular physical activity (PA) may ameliorate these age-related declines, but the influence of PA on corticospinal excitability is ...

Rostro-caudal specificity of corticospinal tract projections in mice

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2020
Rostro-caudal specificity of corticospinal tract (CST) projections from different areas of the cortex was assessed by retrograde labeling with fluorogold and retrograde transfection following retro-AAV/Cre injection into the spinal cord of tdT-reporter ...

Axonal remodeling of the corticospinal tract during neurological recovery after stroke

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2020
Stroke remains the leading cause of long-term disability. Hemiparesis is one of the most common post-stroke motor deficits and is largely attributed to loss or disruption of the motor signals from the affected motor cortex.

Teaching Neuro Image :Corticospinal tract [PDF]

open access: yesNeurology, 2008
A 60-year-old man presented with progressive weakness for 2 years that began in the right arm and subsequently spread to all limbs. On examination, he had both upper and lower motor …

Global Connectivity and Function of Descending Spinal Input Revealed by 3D Microscopy and Retrograde Transduction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The brain communicates with the spinal cord through numerous axon tracts that arise from discrete nuclei, transmit distinct functions, and often collateralize to facilitate the coordination of descending commands.

The impact of position-orientation adaptive smoothing in diffusion weighted imaging-From diffusion metrics to fiber tractography.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
In contrast to commonly used approaches to improve data quality in diffusion weighted imaging, position-orientation adaptive smoothing (POAS) provides an edge-preserving post-processing approach.

Corticospinal Tract Tracing in the Marmoset with a Clinical Whole-Body 3T Scanner Using Manganese-Enhanced MRI. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Manganese-enhanced MRI (MEMRI) has been described as a powerful tool to depict the architecture of neuronal circuits. In this study we investigated the potential use of in vivo MRI detection of manganese for tracing neuronal projections from the primary ...
