Lateral Motor Pathways

Lateral Motor Pathways is a neural pathway system within the central nervous system that originates in the cerebral cortex and descends through the brainstem and spinal cord to modulate motor output, distinguished by its decussation at the medullary pyramids and its primary role in the voluntary control of distal limb muscles.
