where does the corticospinal path start and end
starts in precentral gyrus ends in skelital muscle
corticospinal (pyramidal) tract (function)
voluntary control of limbs including locomotion

moves head + neck in conjuction with eye movements, visual-auditory reflex
rubrospinal tract (function)
posture, controls tone of midline, proximal muscles
