Rubrospinal tract
text:
The rubrospinal tract is a descending tract of the spinal cord connecting to the red nucleus. It is a part of the lateral indirect extrapyramidal tract. It is rudimentary and functionally less important in humans. It is involved in motor control of distal flexors of the upper limb - especially of the hand and fingers - by promoting flexor tone while inhibiting extensors. It complements the lateral corticospinal tract.
