In this video, I describe the three main pathways of the anterolateral system: the spinothalamic, spinoreticular, and spinomesencephalic tracts. I follow the route pain information takes along each…

In this video I discuss the corticospinal tract, a major tract that carries movement-related information from the motor cortex to the spinal cord. I discuss upper and lower motor neurons and trace…
