Here are the major descending tracts and the locations of their cell bodies: Corticospinal Tracts (Lateral and Anterior): Cell bodies are located in the primary motor cortex* (precentral gyrus) of the cerebral cortex. Rubrospinal Tract: Cell bodies are located in the red nucleus* of the midbrain. Reticulospinal Tracts (Medial and Lateral): Cell bodies are located in the reticular formation* of the pons and medulla. Vestibulospinal Tracts (Medial and Lateral): Cell bodies are located in the vestibular nuclei* of the pons and medulla. Tectospinal Tract: Cell bodies are located in the superior colliculus* of the midbrain.
