anterior corticospinal tract of the medulla (acsp)

The term anterior corticospinal tract of the medulla refers to the short portion of fibers descending in the corticospinal tract that separate at the junction of brain and spinal cord to form the anterior corticospinal tract ( Carpenter-1983 ).

Also known as: Tractus corticospinalis anterior, ventral corticospinal tract, Tractus corticospinalis ventralis, anterior tract of Turck, anterior pyramidal tract, anterior corticospinal tract of the medulla

Models Where It Appears
Structural CNS Model - Macaque

Brain structures of the macaque are illustrated in BrainInfo’s NeuroMaps macaque brain atlas. Structures are grouped by proximity in a hierarchy corresponding to the central nervous system hierarchy of NeuroNames ( Bowden-1995 Martin-2000 ). Structures in the NeuroMaps atlas are based on the segmentation of an MRI of the brain of a 3-year old male rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta). The atlas is most useful for targeting structures for implantating electrodes and chemtrodes. Updated 29 Oct 2025.
