Spastic paraplegia type 47 (SPG47) is a rare congenital and neurological disorder characterized by dysfunction of the long axons in the corticospinal tract neurons that lead to progressive limb ...

A positive correlation was found between the stimulus intensity capable of eliciting motor contractions at HFS and R. Conclusions: HFS of the STN preferentially activates the corticobulbar tract over ...

It is hypothesised that the facial CBT descends at the ventromedial lower pons, near the corticospinal tract, mainly to the level of the upper medulla, where the fibres then decussate and ascend in ...

A collaborative study in neuroscience, spearheaded by a research team of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology ...

The corticospinal tract (CST) is a bundle of nerve fibers that connects the brain to the spinal cord, controlling fine motor skills. Using a rigorous complete spinal cord injury model, the researchers ...

A scientific investigation led by researchers at HKUST has uncovered promising avenues for treating injuries to the central ...

The anatomy of the brain involves key regions including the brain stem, cerebellum, lobes of the cerebral cortex, and specific glands (the pituitary, for example) needed to maintain life and health.
