Characteristics of the aberrant pyramidal tract in comparison with the pyramidal tract in the human brain [PDF]
BMC Neuroscience, 2011 Background The aberrant pyramidal tract (APT) refers to the collateral pathway of the pyramidal tract (PT) through the medial lemniscus in the midbrain and pons. Using diffusion tensor tractography (DTT), we investigated the characteristics of the APT in

Spreading of TDP-43 pathology via pyramidal tract induces ALS-like phenotypes in TDP-43 transgenic mice [PDF]
Acta Neuropathologica Communications, 2021 Transactive response DNA-binding protein 43 kDa (TDP-43) has been identified as the major component of ubiquitinated inclusions found in patients with sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Postural control deficits due to bilateral pyramidal tract lesions exemplified by hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) originate from increased feedback time delay and reduced long-term error corrections [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2023 Pyramidal tract lesions determine the clinical syndrome of Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP). The clinical impairments of HSP are typically exemplified by their deficits in mobility, leading to falls and injuries.

Scn1a-GFP transgenic mouse revealed Nav1.1 expression in neocortical pyramidal tract projection neurons [PDF]
eLife, 2023 Expressions of voltage-gated sodium channels Nav1.1 and Nav1.2, encoded by SCN1A and SCN2A genes, respectively, have been reported to be mutually exclusive in most brain regions.

Aberrant Pyramidal Tract in Comparison with Pyramidal Tract on Diffusion Tensor Tractography: A Mini-Review [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2017 The pyramidal tract (PT) is a major neural tract that controls voluntary movements in the human brain. The PT has several collateral pathways, including the aberrant pyramidal tract (APT), which passes through the medial lemniscus location at the ...

Myasthenia Gravis With Reversible Pyramidal Tract Damage and Pseudo Internuclear Ophthalmoplegia. A Case Report and Literature Review [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2019 Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a rare and treatable antibody-mediated autoimmune disease. Pseudo internuclear ophthalmoplegia (-INO) or pyramidal tract damage is rarely observed in MG, and there were no known cases of MG with both pseudo-INO and pyramidal ...

TMS Correlates of Pyramidal Tract Signs and Clinical Motor Status in Patients with Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy [PDF]
Brain Sciences, 2020 Background: While the association between motor-evoked potential (MEP) abnormalities and motor deficit is well established, few studies have reported the correlation between MEPs and signs of pyramidal tract dysfunction without motor weakness.

The pyramidal syndrome and the pyramidal tract: a brief historical note [PDF]
Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 2011 The discovery of the pyramidal syndrome and tract is briefly reviewed with emphasis on a few key historical aspects. The pursuit of the relationship between the lateralized deficits resulting from contralateral head trauma begins in the fourth century BC

Projections of Brodmann Area 6 to the Pyramidal Tract in Humans: Quantifications Using High Angular Resolution Data [PDF]
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2019 Primate studies indicate that the pyramidal tract (PyT) could originate from Brodmann area (BA) 6. However, in humans, the accurate origin of PyT from BA 6 is still uncertain owing to difficulties in visualizing anatomical features such as the fanning ...
