Clinical features of brain motor control and influence in upper motor neuron dysfunction
13 April 2012
Disruption of neurons, their axons, or simply loss of conduction through these axons, when involving CNS motor pathways, results in the upper motor neuron (UMN) syndrome. The causes may be traumatic, ...
