 *The terminal fibers of this uncrossed tract usually cross in the anterior white commissure to synapse on alpha motor neurons or on internuncial neurons. A minority of the fibers do remain ipsilateral. Also, an anterior corticospinal tract is easily identified only in the cervical and upper thoracic regions.
