Abstract
Taga et al. (2024) investigates the distinct roles of the corticospinal tract (CST) and corticoreticulospinal tract (CReST) in chronic motor behaviors post-stroke. Their findings indicate that CST projection strength is associated with motor control and muscle individuation, while CReST projection strength is associated with strength. These results provide evidence that the CST and CReST pathways serve unique but complementary functions in regulating human movement.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Neurophysiology publishes original articles on the function of the nervous system. All levels of function are included, from the membrane and cell to systems and behavior. Experimental approaches include molecular neurobiology, cell culture and slice preparations, membrane physiology, developmental neurobiology, functional neuroanatomy, neurochemistry, neuropharmacology, systems electrophysiology, imaging and mapping techniques, and behavioral analysis. Experimental preparations may be invertebrate or vertebrate species, including humans. Theoretical studies are acceptable if they are tied closely to the interpretation of experimental data and elucidate principles of broad interest.
