Neuroanatomy, decussations, commissures, spinal tracts, upper & lower motor neurones

Strap yourselves in, this one's a bit of a monster. It's not always best to chop up anatomy into small chunks because it helps to link bits together, to make sense of it all. I'm going to talk about decussations within the nervous system, that is, nerve fibres crossing over from one side of the body to the other. We'll talk about: decussations and commissures spinothalamic tracts, dorsal columns (sensory) corticospinal tracts (motor) upper motor neurones vs lower motor neurones the weird things that can happen when only half of the spinal cord is injured Daily Anatomy App: For a random human anatomy question every day on your phone you can get my Daily Anatomy question app from the Apple App Store: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/daily... or Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/de...
