Classification of the Sensory System Spinal pathway • Anteriolateral spinothalmic • Dorsal column-medial leminisca (O’Sullivan 2001)
Pyramidal Tract • Clinical Consideration • The function of the pyramidal tract • (1) Involve the modulation of ascending sensory information and the regulation of spinal reflex • Activation of these fibers proceduces presynaptic inhibition of afferent fibers, including Ib afferent from Golgi Tendon organs, FRAs from cutaneous receptors, and high threshold afferents from joint receptors. • (2) Mediate the execution of precise hand movements that are charaterized by fine control of independent digit movements.
Reticulospinal Tract • Pathway • Medial reticulospinal Tract (Pontine reticulospinal Tract) ipsilateral Spinal cord (Laminae VII, VIII) • Lateral reticulospinal Tract (Medullary reticulospinal Tract) ipsilateral Spinal Cord cross midline (Laminae VII, IX)
Reticulospinal Tract • Reticular Formation (RF) • Connection: spinal cord, cerebellum, brain stain, cerebral cortex, basal ganglia,… • The reticular formation (RF) has no single role, but is involved with a broad range of automatic, or unconscious, neural functions
Reticulospinal Tract • Reticular Formation (RF) • Function • Control of the skeletal muscle • Reticulospinal tract • Control of somatic and vesceral sensation • Control of the automatic nervous system • Medullary reticulospinal Tract • Control of the endocrine nervous system • Influence on the biological clocks • Reticular activating system
Reticulospinal Tract • Influence on Motor Neuron • Nearly two-thirds of the fibers terminating at cervical level. • Medial reticulospinal tract (Pontine reticulospinal Tract) • probably has an excitatory influence extensor motor neurons of the trunk and proximal extremity muscle. • Lateral reticular tract (Medullary reticulospinal Tract) • probably participate autonomic nervous system in the control of respiration, sweating, shivering and other automatic motor function.
Rubrospinal Tract Rubrospinal Tract • Pathway • Midbrain (a part of the red nucleus) fibers cross immediately the medulla dorsolateral funiculus locate at anterior to the lateral corticospinal tract.
Pathway Control Function Anteromedial gray Axial muscle Proximal muscle Balance, Righting Reaction, Posture Dorsolateral gray Distal muscle of the limb Various fine manipulative task, ex: grasp, reaching Rubrospinal Tract
Vestibulospinal Tract Vestibulospinal Tract • Structure: • Lateral Vestibuospinal Tract (LVST) • Medial Vestibulospinal Tract (MVST) • Terminate in Laminae VII, VIII, IX (trunk muscle) • Pathway
Vestibulospinal Tract • Influence on motor neurons • LVST • Strong excitatoryeffect on anti-gravity muscle (extensors) • extensor motor neurons of the ankle, trunk and neck are monosynaptically or disaptically facilitation. • MVST • MVST neurons primarily supply disynaptic inhibition to flexor
Vestibulospinal Tract • Functional consideration • An important role in the regulation of muscle tone, particular as they influence the control of balance. • The influence of LVST to posture

LONG DESCENDING TRACTS AND MOTOR CONTROL • Pytramidal Tracts (Corticopinal Tracts) • Reticulospinal Tracts • Rubrospinal Tracts • Vestibulospinal Tracts
Pyramidal tract (Corticopinal Tracts) • 85- 90% cross the medline at the caudal end of the medulla to the lateral corticospinal tract. • 55% terminate in cervical (upper extrenmity) • 20% terminate in thorasis (trunk) • 25% terminate in lumbo- sacral (lower limb) • 15% ipsilateral connection: is called anterior corticopinal tract
