Axons of the lateral corticospinal tract decussate at what level of the nervous system?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The axons of the lateral corticospinal tract, which originate in the primary motor cortex and control voluntary movement of the limbs, torso, and digits, decussate (cross over to the other side of the body) at the level of the medulla oblongata. This is why damage to one side of the brain can result in weakness or paralysis on the opposite side of the body.
