: Each tract contains fibers representing the opposite (contralateral) half of the visual field.

: Controls voluntary, skilled movements, especially of the limbs.

: Transmits pain, temperature, and crude touch.

Understanding tracts is vital for diagnosing neurological conditions.

: Delivers unconscious information about muscle tension and position to the cerebellum. 🔽 Descending Tracts (Motor)

These carry sensory information from the body up to the brain.

In anatomy, a is a bundle of nerve fibers (axons) within the Central Nervous System (CNS) that connects different parts of the brain or spinal cord. Unlike "nerves," which exist in the peripheral nervous system, tracts are the "highways" of the brain and spine, transmitting sensory and motor data over long distances. 🧠 Types of Neural Tracts
