The lateral corticospinal tract consists of more than 90% of the fibres that is contained by the corticospinal tract which runs along the length of the spinal cord. The main functions of this part is to regulate and control the voluntary movements of the limb that is contralateral in nature. These are some parts that functions unilaterally to the brain a little bit more than the other parts that are peripheral to the brain. When this part is damaged, then the person is rendered motionless and they would be rendered bed ridden without the ability to do anything.
