The corticospinal pathway lies in the lateral funiculus of the spinal cord as a crossed pathway from the cerebral cortex.
The corticospinal pathway lies in the lateral funiculus of the spinal cord as a crossed pathway from the cerebral cortex.
A small percentage (up to 15 %) of axons remains in the ventral funiculus at the location of the uncrossed pathway. These fibers cross upon reaching the innervation level in the contralateral ventral horn.
