The reticulospinal tract (or anterior reticulospinal tract) is an extrapyramidal motor tract that descends from the reticular formation in two tracts to act on the motor neurons supplying the trunk and proximal limb muscles. It is involved mainly in locomotion and postural control, although it does have other effects as well. ==Functions== 1. Integrates information from the motor systems to coordinate automatic movements of locomotion and posture 2. Facilitates and inhibits voluntary movement; influences muscle tone 3. Mediates autonomic functions 4. Modulates pain impulses 5. Influences blood flow to lateral geniculate nucleus of the thalamus. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Reticulospinal tract」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
