General Information
Term corticospinal tract morphogenesis ID (Ontology) GO:0021957 (Gene Ontology)
Definition Generation of a long process of a pyramidal cell, that carries efferent (outgoing) action potentials from the cell body in cerebral cortex layer V towards target cells in the gray matter of the spinal cord. This axonal process is a member of those that make up the corticospinal tract.[ PubMed:9878731 ]
Also Known As "corticospinal tract axonogenesis" ; "CST axonogenesis"
