Synergistic but independent: The role of corticospinal and alternate motor fibers for residual motor output after stroke

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel

Background Brain imaging has shown that not only the cortico-spinal tract (CST), but also alternate corticofugal motor fibers (aMF), such as the cortico-rubro-spinal and cortico-reticulo-spinal tract, influence residual motor output after stroke. So far, s ...
