Les manifestations neurologiques au cours desquelles l'alcool peut jouer un rôle. [...] La myélinolyse centro-pontine [...] se développe de façon rapide et progressive, associant des troubles de la vigilance, un syndrome pseudo-bulbaire majeur, souvent aussi un syndrome pyramidal et des paralysies oculo-motrices. L'imagerie cérébrale en permet le diagnostic. Elle n'est pas spécifique de l'alcoolisme chronique, s'observant en fait beaucoup plus souvent au cours des hyponatrémies sévères corrigées rapidement. 1, record 12, French, - my%C3%A9linolyse%20centro%2Dpontine

Most of the corticospinal fibers cross in the decussation of the pyramids and descend in the spinal cord as the lateral corticospinal tract; most of the uncrossed fibers form the anterior corticospinal tract; both end by synapsing with internuncial and motor neurons. The pyramidal tract is a phylogenetically new tract, most prominent in man, and provides for direct cortical control and initiation of skilled movements, especially those related to speech and involving the hand and fingers. 1, record 20, English, - pyramidal%20tract
