Spontaneously Regenerative Corticospinal Neurons in Mice
… receives input from the motor cortex via the corticospinal tract (CST). The CST comprises corticospinal neuron (CSN) axons that begin in Layer 5b of motor cortex and can extend up to one meter to reach targets in the caudal spinal cord in humans. CSNs regulate the spinal cord's sensorimotor …

Investigating the function of the hereditary spastic paraplegia protein spastin in the endomembrane system
… by the distal axonal degeneration of corticospinal neurons. Of the 80 genes currently associated with HSP, mutations in SPAST, encoding the protein spastin, are by far the most common cause of pathology. Spastin functions as a microtubule remodelling enzyme by using energy derived from …
